Fairy Tales!

I hope that everyone has had a restful weekend and is enjoying the cooler weather upon us! Rain is a good thing!

We had a great week at CASA last week! We began our Fairy Tale unit and focused on Bears and the letter F for Fairy Tales. We read several different versions of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One of the favorites was about a little girl named Dustylocks who was always very dirty and hated to take baths! We did lots of writing in our journals and are getting so good at writing our names, the date, and even putting words on our paper. We have some budding artists upon us for sure! We pulled out the playdough at center time this week, which was a huge hit! Patterning and sorting was our focus in math this week, along with counting and number identification with a fun game of Number Bingo!

I loved seeing so many of your faces at Parent Night on Thursday night! Hopefully you learned a little about what we do each day. Please don't hesitate to call or email if you have questions.

Next week is going to be very busy! We are going on our first field trip to Ridgeview Nursing Home on Tuesday. You all should have seen a permission slip in your child's folder on Friday. Please sign it and return it tomorrow. If you are planning on going on the trip with us, you can just walk your child in that morning. We'll be leaving soon after carpool.

DON'T FORGET>>> Please have your child decorate their brown bear that came home last week. Please return it this week so that we can share them and display them in our classroom.

>>>This coming Friday is Bear Day. Please have your child bring a stuffed teddy bear from home. We'll be doing all kinds of bear activities with them.

>>>We will also be doing a graphing activity this week with Teddy Grahams. I need one box of chocolate Teddy Grahams, one box of cinnamon Teddy Grahams, and one box of regular Teddy Grahams. If you can send in a box to share, just email me and let me know. Thanks so much!

Brooks was our star student last week and we loved learning more about him! Have a great afternoon!
