Panda News

It was great to see all of you at the costume parade. The children had a wonderful time.  Check out the new photos I added to Flickr.  Thank you for all the donations and help.  I couldn't do it without you!

Here is a glimpse of our week in the Panda class:

Language arts:  The children wrote a piggy back version of Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See? using their costume photos.

Math:  We played various Halloween math games and finished the end of quarter math assessments.  The students have made great progress!

Art:  We made Sparky the Fire Dog to go along with our visit from the Stratham Fire Department.  

Social Studies:  We ended Safety Month with a visit from the Stratham Fire Department.  The children were able to explore the truck, learn about 911, practice stop, drop, and roll and get to see a fire fighter all dressed for work.  They talked to the students about having a safety plan at home.  You may want to create one or practice it if you already have one.
