  The children are continuing to work on their math concepts.  We are practicing everyday the place value concept.  In Religion we are  learning about  Psalms as a form of praise to God.  Today they clapped and sang which was a special event.  In Reading we are looking forward to reading Diary of a Spider by Doreen Cronin.  It is a fun book.  The children know that a diary is a daily record of events that happen to you.  I wonder what a spider would write about if it had a diary?  We will read this story to find out.  Looking forward to this beautiful weather week.

The children have shared their delights that they experience with Fall.  Some expressed how fall is their mom's or dad's favorite.  Also you may have some ambitious leaf rakers because they love jumping in the pile.  We have been working to be successful in the classroom.  We have decided to send home a printed copy of the homework sheet due to the difficulty in viewing it on line. The Trinity has been the topic in Religion class and they seem to recognize it as a mystery of our faith.  Their discussions are very pure and innocent.  The strong faith attitude is a tribute to you as a family.  Math is moving forward with naming numbers in varied ways.  They also love the Math games that they have participated in with partners.  Reading My Family has generated many positive events that occur in your homes - you should be proud.  

The class is working on the chatty atmosphere.  They are looking forward to earning stickers to be redeemed for a reward - maybe a show and tell, or bringing in a small stuffed animal, etc.  Thank you for your support in advance.  

Thank you all for the support and help that you are always ready to share.
