PANDA NEWS:

This week was National Education Week.  We celebrated what we were thankful for at school.

As you know our Family Breakfast is Tuesday, November 22nd.  It will start at 8:00.  We will finish with reciting a poem at 8:25.  I hope all will be able to join us. I hope all of you have a restful and happy Thanksgiving. 

I am having trouble with the Flickr account.  It seems that my up loaded pictures are not showing up.  I am working on this problem so stay tuned!!!

Language Arts:  

We have been working on the word I and reviewing the other words we have learned.  The Pandas practiced diagonal lines in handwriting.  We worked on the letters X, Y & Z.  Please try and reinforce the correct school way of holding a writing tool and forming letters and numbers.  I am trying to break  some bad habits.  If they can learn proper formation now  it will help with the fluency going forward. We also wrote our own version of  I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Pie.  

Art:  

The classroom is looking very festive with all the Thanksgiving art work we have been creating!
