A Very Busy Week!

Beginning Monday, October 22nd, we will have Red Ribbon Week and Safe Schools Week. During this time we will learn about making good choices. Each day is a dress up day. You should have received a letter with this information last week. If you have any questions, give me or call or send me an email! Additionally, we will be going on our field trip, Thursday. The kids are beyond excited. I know they will have a blast at the Mayfield Fire Department and at The Pumpkin Barn. We will be leaving school around 8:30. And for the icing on the cake, Friday is our Fall Harvest Party at 2:00. Everyone is welcome to attend. Following school that night, we will have our annual Fall Festival. This is a great fundraiser for PTO and school. So please, come out, eat some chili, play some bingo, ride the mechanical bull, or even dunk your teacher in the dunking booth. ;) There are activities for everyone!!! On a different note, I have added a new video bar on my blog. These videos are great for learning letters, sounds, sight words, etc. Watch them together and have a great time! Don't forget: Monday nights-reading homework, Thursday nights-blending sheet homework, and practice "snappy words" each night. Taking a few minutes out of your day to show your child how important learning is, is truly important. I thank you for taking the time to work with your child on these skills. As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me. Have a great week, and hopefully I will see you at the field trip, party, or Fall Festival! Thanks, Mrs. Dana

Fire Safety

Since this week are learning sbout fire safety, I wanted to share a few videos that the kids LOVE!  They ask me all the time to play them.  I even catch myself singing them at all hours of the day.  I would bet that I might even begin dreaming about them!  Our fire safety theme will give our students great background knowledge for our field trip that is coming up.  It will be a great real life connection for our kids!  They are so excited.  So without further ado, please enjoy the videos!
