We have had a terrific time with our senses! We didn’t realize how much we use our senses everyday! We read many stories about each sense, used our noses to smell different scents, tasted something bitter, sweet, sour, and salty, felt unfamiliar things in a secret bag, used our eyes to see bright items, and we listened to different sounds and tried to guess what they were. Ask your child what their favorite activity was this week!


LETTER OF THE WEEK: “Ff” will be the letter of the week starting on Monday, October 11. Please sit down with your child and discuss what sound this letter makes. Have your child cut out one small picture from a magazine or newspaper that begins with the letter “F.”


Remember: Conferences are next week. Be looking for a sheet coming home in the Thursday folder today, letting you know the day and time of your child’s conference. Thank you! We only have 20 minutes, so parents and teachers need to be focused on goals for your child during the first quarter.



Please make sure your child has gym shoes with them each gym day! Gym class has lots of running and sharp movement type activities. If the children are not wearing tennis shoes they run the risk of getting injured or falling and injuring another student.
