Apples, Apples Everywhere!


 Hello all! 
I have been having so much fun teaching our class!  Speaking of fun, recently you may have seen me with crazy hair, wearing silly outfits and my clothes on backwards. Teachers and staff have been doing this to support the FUNd run and to get students excited and talking to their families about this upcoming event on Friday.  I will send home your child's FUNd run shirt on Wednesday. Our class will run at 9:15 am. Please send in your fundraising envelope as soon as possible (even if you signed up online). Our class decided that our FUNd run team name is: Team Ice Cream, Our Mascot is: Olaf and our theme song is "In Summer" from the Frozen soundtrack.
 

For the next 2 weeks our class will be studying apples. We began our unit by reading facts about apples and then labeling apple parts in Writer's Workshop.  In addition, many of our center activities are also connected to apples. Students are sorting apples by their different attributes, making apple patterns and creating apple art. 


Next week are parent-teacher conferences! I will email out and also send home a paper copy of your conference time and date this Wednesday. Our class started Lexia (Core 5) that is an individualized literacy computer program. I will be sending your child's log-in information this Friday in their folders so they can work on Lexia at home.
