Dear Parent,

This week we are reading The Mitten by Jan Brett. It is a story about animals squeezing into a mitten which surprisingly holds them all. We will learn a song to help us remember the story. We will also learn about being a peacemaker like God wants. Our learning goals are: I can listen to a story, I can sing a song, I can order items by size, I can find matches, I can count objects, I can identify numbers to four, I can follow directions, I can identify body parts, I can trace a line, I can take turns, and I can cut with scissors.

Dear Parent,

This week we are learning about the farm in preparation for our trip to Benton Farm on Tuesday, October 4th. Remember we will not be meeting at school but at the farm instead. While your child will prefer you be there at the farm with him/her, we understand if you are not able to stay. In that case, your child can stay with the teacher while at the farm. Please let us know if this is your situation. If you prefer your child not attend, that is up to you but please let us know. We read two books today: One Red Rooster and Spots, Feathers and Curly Tails. We counted and identified farm animals in the first and used clues to guess the farm animal in the second book. We sorted animals that we found in our classroom mailbox by whether we could find them on a farm or not and also by color. We also played a game, Guess What is Missing. The children were great at it!
