Self-portraits
We have been working on our self-portraits this week. Prior to drawing our self-portraits, the children have been working on creating the many possibilities of lines. Lines are everywhere! Every stroke in a painting is a kind of line. Letters consist of curvy, diagonal, short, and long lines. The children explored and named each line they created. “It looks like a spring!” Lines are now becoming numerals, letters, drawings, and self-portraits in our classroom.
Thank You Mrs. Milliken!
We would like to thank Mrs. Milliken for coming into the classroom and reading Room on the Broom. The children enjoyed her company and would not stop talking about the book! Our doors are always open to having parents come in to read a book, cook, or share a talent. We would love to have your company!

ASQ’s
ASQ’s are
due today! Please take the time to fill out the ASQ for your child. This project focuses on making sure your child
is on track and identifying areas where additional support can be used to help
them succeed. Information gathered from your answers will be used by us to
enhance your child’s growth and learning.
In order to complete the required screening,
go to:
There is a prize for the
classroom that has all ASQ’s done first. The children each get a Scholastic
book and the teachers get a $100 gift card to buy materials for the classroom!
Please help us get them done ASAP.
Scholastic Magazines
Next week,
we will begin reading Scholastic Magazines. This will be another opportunity
for your child to practice and build their literacy skills. During this activity, the children look
for the title, read the title together, hunt for letters, read the pictures,
and then read the complete magazine together. At the end of the day, the
children can take it home, share it with you, and complete the activities in
the back of the magazine at home as homework.
The
Halloween walk will take place on October 29th at 4pm. If your child does not
come to school Thursday afternoon, we encourage you to bring child to the
Halloween walk. If your planning on attending the Halloween walk, please make
sure to sign your child out before going on the walk. Children who attend
school all day, we ask that they do not wear their costumes to school. You can
place their costume in their backpacks or a tote. Teachers will help children
change into their costumes. Please keep all weapons and masks at home. Many
children do not understand that there is a person behind the mask, and often
get frightened.
