November, Farms and Elections

On Tuesday, the kids got a chance to vote for president! The polls were set up in room 100 and the kids used an iPad. Before we voted, I showed a picture of the two candidates to the class. I didn't say a word because I didn't want to sway their vote in any way, but most had pretty strong reasons why they were voting for one over the other!

The kids were so excited that we had seven 0s in a row! Sadly, we didn't get another one today, but Isaiah did get a 1!

This week we learned about farms! We read many books and talked about

different kinds of farms. Some have just animals, some just have

crops, and some have both!
Our BIG question this week is What kind of bugs do you know about?  The vocabulary words we learned were: curious, observe, process, slender, and attaches.

We had a review of all the words and letters we learned so far, so we did not have any new sight words. Keep practicing our other ones- I, can, the, we, see, a, like.

Isaiah turned 6 on Thursday! Happy birthday, Isaiah!

Kayden's sister, Reese, earned enough little panther paws to choose a reward. She chose reading a book to our class! The kids loved it, and Kayden loved sitting next to her sister as she read to us!

 We met another Big Panther Paw Goal! We voted and decided to have pajama day on Monday, November 7th!
This time the vote was very spread out and it ended in a tie the first time! The kids thought we should put the two winners together and have a long playtime in our PJs. :) We voted a second time and it was another close vote!

 Please remember to send your farm permission slip back with $1 to help with the bus cost. The field trip is on Thursday, so don't forget to dress your child like a farmer! The weather looks beautiful that day, but remember to dress them appropriately! Thank you!
