Highlights

Ms. Bain: Students were challenged to build chairs out of Lego as part of our building unit.

Mrs. Diduch:  We played “Making Ten Go Fish”. If you have a deck of cards your child can teach you this game.  We are using this game to learn all combinations that add up to ten. Today we also completed our first “All the Addition Facts You Ever Need to Know” page.

Reminders

Mrs. Diduch: We are going to be starting our building unit.  We are looking for a variety of materials.  Please send in any of the following: popsicle sticks, tooth-picks, card-board (cut into manageable pieces), clean empty food tins, toilet-paper rolls, paper-towel rolls, egg-cartons, string, plastic lids, plastic drink cups, etc.
    
Please continue to send in your Boston Pizza receipts to support our Boston Pizza Fundraiser.  When your child brings in a receipt they have a chance to win a prize!

I am sending home nine words a week and will be studying three words each day. On the extra weekday we will be reviewing words that we have already covered that are on the “No excuse list”.
