We will need only about 1-2 cups of the snack you bring in. You may send this in anytime.  Please be sure it is here by the 21^st.

   Miniature marshmallows 

   Chocolate chips

  Pretzels

   Cheerios-any flavor (honey nut, chocolate, multigrain…..)

   Peanuts

 Chex corn cereal (or generic brand)

Turkey Games for Math and Reading!

Here are a couple of games you can play with your child at home. 

Turkey Tricky Word Game

Place the word cards in a can and take turns pulling out words and reading them. If you can read the word you get to keep it, but if you can't read it you have to put the word back. If you pull a direction card follow the direction given and when the "Time to eat" card is drawn the game ends.

Turkey Give the Next Number Game

 Give the next number game can be used in numerous ways; number recognition by playing memory, number sequencing (place 3-5 cards out and have them put the cards in order) or they can give you the number before or after the number they have picked.

I hope you enjoy and a big thank you to Karinda Wahls for letting me share these!

Check out our costumes!!!!

We had a great time in the gym with the whole school as each grade paraded around to show off their costumes. We even did the Hokey Pokey!!!

First Trimester Skills

Dear Parents,

            We just wanted to send you a list of skills we are  working on the 1^st trimester of school. Your child will be tested on these skills at the end of the trimester. You will receive a report card at that time so you know what your child has mastered and what your child still needs to work on. Thanks for all your support.

·         Counts to 20

·         Identifies basic shapes (square, triangle, rectangle, circle, diamond, oval)

·         Recognizes and extends an ABAB and ABC pattern

·         Skip counts by 10
