Rainbow Fish and Teamwork

This week we spent time talking about two very cool fish using two picture books!  We read Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister and Swimmy by Leo Lionni.  Throughout the week we worked on a variety of projects for the classroom that emphasized teamwork and how important it is to work together.  We worked as a table group to complete these amazingly beautiful Rainbow Fish (you will have to come to Open House to see the final product) :)

Open House will be Tuesday, August 25, 2015 from 6:00-7:30.  We will start in the gym before moving to the classrooms.  Hope to see you there!

Homework will be sent home in packets beginning next week (August 24).  They will have the week to complete the packet and they will be due Friday.  We will be starting a new classroom economy system next week also where they earn gold tags which can be used for special things in the classroom.  As they bring their homework back completed they will earn gold tags (2 per week for homework) to add to their "stash".  Our homework focus for the next couple of weeks will be: counting, rhyming, writing strokes, sorting, number recognition and number writing.

As always if you have any questions about anything we are doing in the classroom, or homework, please feel free to email me at tgrandi@mccsc.edu or call the school office!
