     Please send in money for Johnny Appleseed day.  We are celebrating Friday afternoon, Sept. 26. Each child needs to bring in $2.  Thanks so much!

     Monday is our subtraction up to 20 test.  Next we will begin a number sense unit, dealing with place value up to 1000, odd and even numbers, comparing numbers, using word form, standard form, and expanded form.

     We have been practicing making connections when we read.  Next week we will begin working on creating mental images as we read.

     If your child does not know how to tie their shoes yet or needs extra practice, please work on that with them.  It takes us a looooong time to get our shoes changed for P.E. every Tuesday and Wednesday.  If your child has not brought in gym shoes yet, please send some.  They don’t need to be new, just washed and clean.  Thank you!

     Aaarrrr!  Today is “talk like a pirate” day.  We read some fun books about pirates.  Ask your child to tell you about them!
