Reminders:

We still try to go out for recess as much as possible.  Please make sure that your child is dressed for the weather and label all gloves, hats, coats, etc.  with your child’s name so that it stays out of the lost and found.  Please also make sure that your child’s spare set of clothing in the cubbies is appropriate for the colder weather (no shorts please).  Thank you!

-The Field Trip: was wonderful!  Going to see the show at Bloomsburg was a very nice experience.  The show was very well done and the children seemed to enjoy it.  They all looked very festive for the day!

-The NED show: will be at NSE for the first time.  We will be viewing it on December 9 and a paper was sent home with information on it along with information on placing an order if you are interested.

Science: We started the Chapter on Matter and Mixtures.  We will know that solids, liquids, and gases are different forms of matter.  We will also know that water can be a solid, liquid, or gas.  We will also learn that people can put things together to make a mixture.  Our vocab words are: matter, solid, liquid, gas, mixture.

Math:  Our Topic is: Topic 4, Comparing and Ordering Numbers 0 to 10.  We will be comparing numbers to 10, using 1 more, using 1 fewer, and 2 more/2 fewer.  Please practice counting to 100 by 1s and 10s.

Reading:  Our new story is “Little Panda” and we will be comparing and contrasting.  We will be reviewing verbs as actions.  Our amazing words are: weigh, healthy, curious, measure, bamboo, explore.  We will be continuing to explore first sounds of words, segmenting words, letter names, letter sounds, and blending words.
