This week we worked on things with vampires, witches and Halloween. For our project, we imagined what it would be like to be invisible. Then, we drew a picture of what we would do when we were invisible with a white crayon that only appeared after we painted it with watercolors. We read “Where’s my Mummy?” and wrote about the things our “Mummys” do for us. We loved stamping our sight words, doing sight word puzzles, and matching numbers to tally marks.

2. is have Weather Rainbow Words Trace, cut, practice:
The weather is turning chilly-please send in a fall/winter appropriate change of clothes for your child to keep in his/her locker in case we get messy or have an accident. The original bag is coming home today. Also, please take time to practice zipping and putting on gloves and hats. Practice with pulling sleeves through that are turned inside out would be great as well! These things really slow us down at recess and dismissal. We DO go outside each day possible. Dress for the weather!
Practice writing numbers or words in shaving cream (0-5)
Ask your child to identify coins from your spare change.
