Last Week:
We spent much of the week doing our regular things. We worked on Literacy Circles and the Tillamook Project. We spent some time practicing our play as well as getting some of the props and behind the scenes set organized and created. We will be performing at an All School Meeting either November 20 or a date in Mid-December that I will have to get confirmation on later. For our Out and About we went to B Street Farm where we started out with a teambuilding activity and then we split into two groups to help with different projects. One group collected sunflower seeds for replanting next year and the other group shoveled and moved dirt to help create a birm for a pathway between some plantings. We had a double dose of music this week which was great. They have been learning some great songs to sing as well as a song on the xylophone. I am impressed with how well they are learning how to read music! We have a musically gifted class. We finished the week with Fitness Friday and Goal Reflections. Each week students reflect on their goals that we set at conferences a month ago. This helps them to be sure that they are takig responsible for their goals.

This Week:
We will be at Outdoor School learning all about nature and having a grand 'ol time! Please be sure that your child has packed rain gear including rain boots and extra socks! On Friday I sent home a reminder note stapled to wrists (sleeves, not skin:-)) of your children to be sure nothing is forgotten. I also sent home a packing list again because I know many people have lost them. With medications remember that they need to have written directions from you for proper dosage for over the counter medications and they need to be in their original containers, even cough drops. Prescription medications need to be in original containers.
Let me know if you have any questions.
