This week, we've been lead through morning meeting by Wilson. Our class "jobs" have officially started, so you may hear about being the "light switcher" or "scrap master." We have read several new books about fish, and have completed several projects. Our fish made from CDs are hanging in our window along with the project inspired by this book:

     We learned about six different types of fish in this book, and created out own. They are also hanging in our windows. Please come by and check them out when you get a chance! Each child created their own fish and described what kind of food the fish eats, where it lives, and what it likes to do. 

     We've also completed two journal pages this week. The first one is prompted: "What I like best about school is..." while the second one was inspired by this book:

     In this story, there is a minnow and a tadpole. When the tadpole grows up, he goes out and explores the world and tells the minnow all about it. The minnow would like to give exploring a try, but quickly discovers "fish is fish" and that the water is where he belongs. We then pretended to be fish and went on an adventure of our own. We then did a journal page that followed the prompt: "If I were a fish going on a journey, I'd discover..."

We've also already had music, drama, and Spanish so far this week. The children will have an opportunity to use the keyboard lab in music class once a week. They used them on Monday, and photos have been posted on our closed Facebook group for you to enjoy. 

There are still a couple parents who haven't sent back in the blue Communications form and the orange Fall Festival form. Please make sure you send them in if you haven't done so. I need these forms in order to plan appropriately for transportation to Jeter's Farm and Carvin's Cove. Thanks so much!
