Leer-A-Tón Packets will be going home with students on Wednesday! Keep your eyes out for this valuable and detailed information in your child's backpack. Your child will receive a packet with the instructions, a reading calendar to record their minutes, and a pledge sheet if your family will be collecting funds. The reading goal for each child is to read or be read to for 40 minutes every day. This is one of our school's most important fundraisers. Thanks for participating!
Some dates to remember:
- Oct 25 - 27: Join the Amity interns in story time at 6:30pm each evening at the book fair and earn minutes towards each student's reading goal.
- October 28: Midway prize drawing for free books.
- November 2: Fundraiser from 5:00 - 9:00pm at Chipotle, 5480 Excelsior Blvd. Half of all proceeds will go to PSI!
We have a Scholastic Book Fair in the Media Center on
October 25 - 27 from 3:00 - 8:00pm!
We continued to work on recognizing letters, producing both the letters' sounds and the letters' names. Our focus letter was Tt, and we talked a lot about fall. The special activity of the week was a drumming circle with some of the beautiful drums in Srta. Lamb's classroom. We learned a new math game with circles and stars, and drew a turtle. We have also been writing both uppercase and lowercase ABC's and writing our numbers from 1-31.
Thanks to those of you who were able to come to the party.
