Ms. Kaley's Classroom Room 24

Hello!

We sure had a busy week!

Everything went well and the students really enjoyed their field trip and party on Friday.  Thank you to all of you who came out this past week to help out!

Our next field trip will be to see The Nutcracker on December 9th. It won’t be an all day field trip.  We will need to take a bus and each student will need $2.00 for this field trip.  I will send out information as the date approaches, but I putting in the request for us to go this week and wanted you all to be aware that this field trip will have a small cost.  If for any reason a child cannot pay, please email me and let me know.

Level 1s have a mini project.  For History, we have been discussing the calendar and also length of time.  This will lead into our large unit of telling time later on in the year.  This project is very similar to how a celebration of life works in our class, except that it is more visual.  All level 1s need to create a poster timeline of their life for every year they lived on our Earth.  For example: if your child is 7 years old, they need 7 pictures, one for each year of their life on their board.  Under each of the pictures, please help your child out with a memory from that year.  It can be something about that year from the picture they chose or just a general fact from that year.  No more than 2 sentences per picture.  I would like if level 1 students wrote the sentences themselves, but they will need help and maybe motivation.  I want them to each share to the class and then put them on display for about a week.  This project is due: November 4th (a Monday, the day we do History).
