We are having so much fun reading Frog and Toad! The kids did an incredible job mapping out the places that Toad lost his button in the story. They illustrated the story, and they also had to hunt through the button box to find the right attribute for the buttons they found at each location as they searched for Toad's lost button. The children have begun to create their own Frog and Toad vest. They are sooooooo awesome!!!!!! I can't wait for them to share their completed project with you!! Thank you Wendy {Christopher's Mom} for all of your help cutting out the vests.

In science, we are learning about amphibians. We made Venn diagrams with our buddies to illustrate the differences and similarities between frogs and toads. Ask your child what they have learned.

On Tuesday, November 24, we will have a Special Reading Day. Students are encouraged to bring their favorite blanket, stuffed animal, and books. We will spend extra time reading. Please remember to let them wear their pajamas {but we will still play outside}. It should be a fun and cozy celebration of the joy of reading.

Please remember to check Quick Notes regarding Thanksgiving Luncheon and Book Fair information. Our class will be performing at 10:30 on Sat. the 5th. Please have your child there at 10:15. Please let me know if you are unable to attend.
