News from Ms. Mikki November 3rd, 2017
A huge THANK YOU to our homeroom moms for organizing such awesome Halloween parties! I sent home book orders this week.  Those orders will be due on Friday, November 10th.  I will not be sending home a December book order, so here’s your chance to stock up on books for Christmas.  You can order online using our class code:  QC78V. Please send in your Stone Soup RSVP and your assigned canned veggies.  An invitation was sent home last week.   We also would like for everyone to send in a new PLAIN square pot holder.  Any color besides black will be fine. Favor Please:  Please make sure your child is finishing their breakfast before they enter the classroom in the mornings.  We have specific health codes that we must follow when it comes to serving foods.  This also goes for outside drinks.  They may bring their own water bottles  to keep in their cubbies, but they need to be clearly labeled with their name. Thank you for your cooperation.  .   TUITION DUE FOR NOVEMBER:  $90 or $150 if you want to pay for Nov/Dec together.
November Learning Targets: I can describe the action in a picture. I can respond appropriately to questions about the location of an object I can put on my jacket, shoes and backpack myself without help except for zippers, buttons and tying	Literacy: This week we read some Halloween themed books.  Our favorite was Go Away Green Monster. We shared what each of us was going to dress up as for Halloween.  We’ll be turning our list into a class book.
Math: Shapes and sorting:  We continue to practice naming shapes and sorting by one attribute (square, circle, triangle, rectangle).  Eventually we will move to sorting by two attributes (all of the yellow triangles, blue squares, etc).	Science: Sink or float:  We had fun choosing objects in the room and predicting if they would sink or float.  Ask them if they can remember what the pumpkin did in the water.
