Giants
Theme: 3 Week: 3
Letter: Uu
Number: 4

This week in class students will learn about Giants Made by People.  We will be learning about skyscrapers, bridges, machines, and amusement park rides.

My "teacher" laptop had to be sent in to Apple because the key pad and mouse pad is not working.  So the students are doing a fantastic job singing with out our regular music.  Luckily we have a back up computer so we can still use our interactive white board.

Thank you parents for donating thin dry erase markers and crayons (we can still use more)!

Reminder:
NO School- Monday November 11 (Veterans Day)

Weekly Photo Update

Our poem that we focused on was "I Am A Pumpkin."  When our big buddies from South Bay came they helped us create jack-o-lanterns to go with our poem.

Students worked independently creating stain glass pumpkins.  It is so nice to look out the window and see thier pumpkins.

 Last week we focused on the letter Tt.  Students cut out the letter T and glued toothpicks onto their T's.  All students had fun and did a great job keeping the glue in the containers and on their papers.
