Scarecrow Thursday

Thank you all so much for helping your little one with this very festive day! The kids had so much fun walking in the parade and singing their songs for you! If you missed the "show" it's OK! Ask your child to sing: Owl, Oc-to-ber, Can, You, and Owl Body Parts!

Morning Visitors

We had a very informative and comical morning with a visit from our favorite fire safety clowns! They came and talked to us about:
  1. Gun safety (to walk away, don't touch, and tell an adult)
  2. Exiting our house when there's a fire and how to feel the door knob
  3. To never give information to anyone on the Internet
  4. Don't talk to strangers
  5. Halloween safety tips
  6. Put cold, clear water on burns
  7. Seat belt importance
  8. Change your batteries in your smoke detector twice a year


Cancer Awareness

Thank you all SO much for your generous donations for Friday's "Hats On" Day! Our school raised (drum roll please) $1071.52 for Foundation for Kids with Cancer and Pink Hearts Fund.

Busy day!

Super busy day in K1! Our morning started off with the 3rd Grade Program "Dancing Through the Ages." The kids were absolutely mesmerized by their singing and dancing...it was the quietest I have EVER seen them and so fun to watch their faces. We also played a new smartboard game...ask your child if they remember what they got to draw :). I snapped some pictures of them learning a new math game called "build-a-tower." I love how EXCITED they are every time we learn a new game (seriously they scream, cheer and give each other high fives)!! Ask them how to play our last game "roll and record."

Which is your favorite?

We made a graph of our favorite nocturnal animal. We first wrote the inital of the animal on the back of our picture (so we wouldn't be influenced by our friends) and then added them one by one. The winner was no surprise to this "owl loving" teacher...I might be rubbing off on them. ;)
