Looking Back…
*Such a busy week we had! Going on a Leaf Hunt was so much fun. We found leaves with letters, numbers, shapes and even our names. On our next hunt we will be looking for real Fall leaves.
*We dot painted elephants and made more elephants with capital E. Learning to crack an egg was part of our Jolly Phonics song this week.
*Our 6th grade buddies visited for a play date and we showed them all of the great learning toys we enjoy. Magnatiles, puzzles and Gears were a hit with the big kids!
*October self-portraits are all done and have been added to our learning portfolios!
*Our Religion lesson was all about the feet that God gave us. We used those feet for some great fall walks around our beautiful school campus.
*Purple Day had to share the excitement of White Sox dress down day. Like Pete the Cat says, “It’s all good.” Go Chicago White Sox!
*We celebrated our Cool Cat of the Week, Amelia! It was also her birthday. Happy Birthday to Amelia and thanks for the yummy treats and the pop-its!

Sing a Song…
Lots of learning is done through song and that’s why we sing all day long.
Each week I will try to link some of our songs for you to sing at home.
