Is it the end of October already??

Can you believe we are already ending October? I feel like we have just began to school. However, counting our days of school proves otherwise. Today is the 47th day of kindergarten! For next week, we are in need of 2 items. We really need glue sticks and brown paper grocery bags.

This week, we will learn about what happens during an election year. Today, we talked about what an election is and how important it is for our country. We learned that in order to vote, you have to be at least 18 years old. The kids really wanted the opportunity to vote, so we have made up our own election! The students will have the opportunity to vote for a president after reading the books My Teacher for President, Duck for President and Grace for President. Following each book, we will discuss how that person/animal would make a good president. Today, we created voter registration cards. The kids were really excited to make these. We will vote for the "president" on Wednesday.

Don't forget that this Thursday is the 50th day of school! Feel free to dress your child in 50's attire. Please don't feel like you have to go out and buy anything. A ponytail and skirt will be fine for the girls. Slicked back hair and jeans will be fine for the boys.

Next week, we will begin our unit on nutrition. This is always a great unit to teach before Thanksgiving! The students really start to pick up on how many food groups are represented on their plate.
