And We're Back!

We're already back into the swing of things after the break. I hope you and your family had a lovely time and got to relax if you were able to have a vacation that matched the school holiday! My husband, son and I went to Malaysia and enjoyed the beautiful ocean. It is nice to be back with the children and hear all about the connections to our curriculum that they made over the break!

On Sunday we planted seeds that we will nurture and hopefully help grow into large bean plants. We will check on them every day and see if we need to give them water and/or more sunlight.





We are continuing with our math focus of measurement and will tie this into our Unit of Inquiry as our plants begin to grow and we see what measurement tells us about how our plants are doing. We've done many activities that help us understand how to accurately measure using various tools. 



Reminders:
  • Halloween Carnival: This Friday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Please check the Shamachar note  regarding ticket sales as tickets will not be sold at the door.
  • Swimming: Our last swimming session for this quarter is tomorrow (Wednesday). Please make sure your child brings his gear.
  • Home Extension Activities: Please make sure to check your child's backpack every Monday for her packet and help her to return it on Sunday. I have created a page called "Home Extension" at the top of the blog with this week's activities. Please check here if you loose the paper with instructions.
