STEAM Expo Night
Fall Expo for the 2015-2016 school year will take place on Wednesday, November 18 from 4:30-7:00pm.  The night will be broken up into different blocks of time which I will detail next week.  I recommend that you plan on coming for the majority of the night as there will be a lot of exciting learning to experience.  There will be dinner options for sale as well.  Our kindergarten students will be presenting what they have learned about weather.

Steam Expo Attire
The goal for our STEAM Expo is to have all students dress up a bit and look nice.  Students are presenting the work they have done and we want them to feel the importance of the night.  Have your students dress up but don’t feel like you need to be too fancy; a nice pair of slacks, a collared shirt, blouse, or dress etc. are all good choices.

Sharing Email Addresses
As I wrote last week a couple of Room K-3 parents have approached me asking me for a class email list so they can propose meet-ups and playdates.  I think it is a great idea but wanted to get your permission first.  I have set up this survey, if you tried it last week and couldn’t get in, please try again, I fixed the settings Tuesday afternoon.

Curriculum Overview
Science Weather Project - We are preparing for our STEAM Expo!  This week students will review what they have learned and practice the different stations that we will have for the expo.

Math - This week we will work on building and representing numbers in different ways.  We will work all the way to the number 20 but our focus will be on the numbers 1-12.

Literacy - We are reading fiction books discussing the characters, setting, problem, and resolution in each book.

Writing - Students are using pictures and words to write about the anemometers we are making.

Word Study - This week we are focusing on the sight words: is, you, the, and.  We will also look at worlds from the -ing family like ring, sing, king, running, etc.
