💗 Today we celebrated one of our four Lincoln Lion traits: Caring! We wore red (or shades of red) for all to see that we care about caring. We also had special red paw tickets to give out to others who we saw being caring. That's right, not just teachers were on the look out for caring friends- all the school was watching and saying thanks by giving out a red paw ticket. Spread caring like confetti!

🦁 Tomorrow is our Lincoln Fun Night! We will have games, food, and prizes available for all to join in the fun. Come on over to the school Saturday, October 26th  from 4-7pm! 

🎉 We have filled our class paw ticket jar! We will celebrate on Monday, October 28th by having a pajama party! Please help your child pick out a set of pajamas that is comfortable and appropriate for all of our regular school day activities. Thank you and Go LIONS! 🦁

📚 Our reading focus this week has been with the letter Pp and the word to. We practiced writing and reading each of these as well as kept our eyes open for them in the world around us. See how many letter Pp and word to you can find this weekend! We also looked at different text features we might see in a story; such as word bubbles, charts, or little fun facts. We understand that these can be helpful to fully reading a story, as well as just some extra information that might be good to know.

🔢 We are finishing up topic 4 in our math study this week. We are very strong in our ability to identify which group of objects is greater or smaller and are working on being able to do the same when we only see the numeral representation. We also worked with +1. This is a very important concept to understand as it helps build a solid foundation for what is to come. Ask your child about items you see around the house or while you are at the store. Ask them the tell which is greater and which is less, or are they the same? Ask them to show the numeral representation to you, and ask what one more would be. Our goal has been to not recount the group, but rather to say "I know this is 6, and one more than 6 is 7, so there would be 7."

🍂 We have continued our study of trees and use of our five senses by focusing on leaves. We have been noticing more leaves falling at recess and see so many on the ground! We have discussed how we can use our five senses to observe leaves, the shapes of leaves, and how leaves are different. When your family is outside enjoying the fall weather, see if you can find different shapes of leaves together. If you do, have your child bring them in! We are trying to start a collection of different shaped leaves!

🍁 We are loving fall! 🍂
