I want to start by saying thank you to all the volunteers who helped out at ECO on Tuesday! We had a great time carving pumpkins to make into mouse houses, making pumpkin soup in the outdoor kitchen and playing toss the ring around a pumpkin game.  It was a gorgeous day in the forest! 

Thank you families for bringing in so many pumpkins! It truly was an awesome day! 

We also finished our first writing unit of the year! To celebrate this accomplishment we paraded through classrooms.  Each child held up their favorite piece of writing and walked so proud holding it high above their heads!  They were able to share their stories with several different classes.  Once back in the room, we cheered to great writing with cider and cookies.  

Reading Parade

We had a reading parade last week to celebrate becoming readers!

More ECO

ECO

October 22

Hello! We have been so busy in kindergarten!  During math the students have been using rods and counters to compose and decompose the number 5.  They have built upon that skill and started writing equations that equal 5.  This is very exciting! They are learning so much! I am very proud of them! 

We have ECO next Tuesday from9:00-11:30.  We are planning a pumpkin festival in the forest.  We need your help! Each child will need a small pumpkin for making Mouse houses and then we need about 10 larger pumpkins for some other activities.  Let us know if you can bring in a pumpkin or two! Thank you!

October 12

Hi! Hope you all are enjoying the amazing fall weather! We want to remind you that our first ECO is on Wednesday, October 14th.  We will be in our outdoor classroom all morning.  Please make sure your child is dressed in appropriate clothing and shoes.  Check the weather, dressing in layers is always a good thing to do this time of year.  Also please make sure to send in a snack and water bottle.  We are looking forward to a great start with this awesome program! Thank you for your support.  If you are planning on volunteering for this session, please be in our room by 9:00.  Lisa & Beth
