The Big "O"

This week we started out second PYP Planner---The Big "O".  This planner focuses on organization.  We kicked off with Backwards Day on Monday.  The day was all mixed up and it made students realize that the organization and predictability of their day is comforting.  
This week and next we will focus on how organization makes us feel safe.  

We will read:

-I Pledge Allegiance

-We Are So Proud

-My Me Map

-Officer Buckle and Gloria

-Don't Talk to Strangers

We will do the following activities...

- Make U.S. flag

-Write our own safety tip

-Make a map of our day

-Create a community helper puppet

In math we will focus on teen numbers, days of the week, months of the year, and calendar skills.

Other Info:

* In this week's Tuesday folder you received the art fundraiser.  Many of the drawings were cropped incorrectly.  The company recognizes this error and is going to redo them.  If you are interested in buying your child's art, but it needs to be redone, please let me know so that I can make sure they fix it.

* Friday is an early dismissal day.  I will be having conferences that afternoon.  I think all but one time slot has been filled.  Please get with me to make arrangements if you did not get a spot on Friday.

* On Tuesday the students will be taking the NNAT.  This is a non-verbal test that is one of the things we use to identify students for the Gifted and Talented program.  Please make sure that your child is on time that day.

* Spooky Spaghetti is this Saturday!  It's going to be a great time!  Will and Scarlett's moms have been working hard on our booth decorations.  I can't wait to see how it turns out!  =)

Thanks for all you do!
