We will not be having any homework this week. I somehow got ahead of myself (that doesn't happen often).

November is already here! We had an awesome end to October with our Fall Party. Thank you to our wonderful room parents for our super, fun parties and to all of the parents that donated items and or volunteered their time to help. The kids had the best time!
Hop on over to my website to check out the November calendar and newsletter. There is a lot going on this month.

Our school is celebrating Red Ribbon Week this upcoming week. Here is a calendar of fun ways to participate.
Superheroes train right here in room 5! We did a writing project about how each of us are a superhero. The kids came up with some great reasons why! Here are some things that they came up with - being caring, helpful, kind, respectful and even by including someone. These kids are my Superheroes! The Hershey Elementary PTO invites you to celebrate reading with our Saddle Up and Read! Scholastic Book Fair this year. The book fair will be held in the Elementary MPR on Monday, October 30th-Thursday, November 2nd from 9:00am-3:00pm and Friday, November 3rd from 9:00am-noon only. There will be a Family Night on Wednesday, November 1st from 5:30-7:30pm. Our class will be going to the book fair during the school day on Wednesday, November 1st at 10:00am with our morning kindergartners and 1:00pm with the afternoon kindergartners. Your child can purchase a book or books at this time. If your child is buying books, please send any money in a sealed envelope with your child's name on it.

We are starting to use Reading Eggs, an online reading resource, that we are lucky to have in our district. We use this to practice and reinforce the skills we are working on in small and whole group reading instruction. The picture above is the letter that I sent home in your child's folder this week. There is a letter explaining the reading program and it includes your child's username and password. I also stapled a small card to the letter and this again includes your child's name and password. The kids took a placement test here at school with me to see what level that they need to start. I will be getting the kids on Reading Eggs about every other day. Your child's username and password allows you to get on Reading Eggs at home.
I just added the October newsletter and calendar to our class website. Hop over and see what's going on in the classroom and coming up this month!
