MUFFIN MATH We
have a new friend in our classroom. Her
name is Muffin and she is a 3 month old guinea pig. We had a vote last week to choose a name for
her. We had lots of suggestions (Obiwonkinobi,
Mario, Lego, Chocolate, Cookie, Sunshine, Fox, Bob, and many more.) In the final vote, Muffin won. We are getting to know each other and will be
using math to find out all about guinea pigs.
How many blocks long is she, how much does she weigh, how much does she
grow? We have also been sharing little
bits of our lunch with her and finding out what she likes to eat (carrots,
apple, celery, cucumber, and her favourite so far … grapes!)
FEELY BOOKS I
am sending home a letter today about a little book that we are making in class
about the sense of touch. Please read
the pink note and help your child find their items at home. Please send the feely items to school this
week (next Monday at the latest) because I would like to make our books next
week. Thanks!
CLASS PARTIES Each
year our class has a number of parties to celebrate the holidays. I usually divide up the class alphabetically
between the holidays and ask each family to bring treats for one of the parties
during the year. If that day does not
suit you, perhaps you can trade with another family. Don’t worry, I’ll put reminders in the
newsletters. Please let me know if this
plan does not work for you.
