Shapes

We're talking about shapes in our Math Investigations. We're finding shapes all around us and using shapes to make cars, houses, animals, clocks, ice cream cones - everything is made of shapes! I love this slide show about shapes. Have a look at it with your little one.
Enjoy this short video about 'If I ran to the Zoo' by Dr. Seuss! It's fun since we just went to the zoo and celebrated the birthday of Dr. Seuss. :)


The Five Senses

At the zoo this week, we reviewed the five senses! We learned about how animals feel, taste, hear, see and smell. Click the arrow in the middle of the screen once to start this video on five senses as an extra review for your child. Talk to them in everyday conversation about things that we see, smell, feel, hear and taste...and the body parts that go along with those senses!

E-mail Mrs. Farber

If you have any questions or concerns about your child's progress, I'd always be glad to meet with you or talk to you on the phone. However, I know schedules are busy. If it's easier, e-mail me and I'll get back to you!! I'm glad to work with you in any way I can!

Pledge of Allegiance



We are learning new things everyday! Talk to your students about the American flag - help them recite the Pledge of Allegiance. We have had several of our students lead the school in the Pledge of Allegiance on the morning announcements! We look for students who are working hard and showing good behavior to help in leading the school in the Pledge. Can your child be one of those students?!
