Family Feast 2013

Dear Parents,

Please join us for our Annual Family Feast on Friday, November 22, 2013 from 12:45 - 1:45 for food, centers and fun!  Due to limited space, we ask that only two adults per family attend with their student.

We will be browsing our hallway to enjoy the family posters that you and your children have created, participating in family-based learning centers and having a tasting party of dishes from your ethnic origin.  Please bring a dish from your ethnic background to share. 

*Please do not include items that have sesame seeds, sesame oil or peanuts.*

A small taste for everyone is all that we need.  Please bring your dish ready to serve, including serving utensils.  I have plates, napkins and plasticware available. 

Please RSVP by Friday, November 15, indicating the name of the dish that you will be bringing.  A sheet will be coming home tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 6, in your child's blue folders for you to fill out with the names of attending family members and the name of the dish.

We are so excited about our Family Feast!

Gentle reminder

There will be no school tomorrow, Tuesday, November 5.

See you all on Wednesday!

Tricky Teens

This week we are working on our tricky teens. This includes recognizing, writing and ordering them. For those friends who are already comfortable with the tricky teens, we are working on breaking that number into "10 and some more ".

Here we are doing some of our tricky teen math stations during math workshop. We had number lines with missing tricky teens that we needed to cut out and glue in the right spot. We also played a color matching game using tricky teams and had to match the color dots for each number! We had so much fun!

Ask your children if they can identify different teen numbers at home or while in the car. Tricky teen number hunts are always good practice!
