I hope you enjoyed the snack we made. The students had a blast making it and they learned a lot about producers, consumers, and goods.

We had a great week learning about good citizens and goods and services.

We reviewed fiction and nonfiction books and found characters in the stories we read. In math, we compared numbers and learned about the greater than and less than sign. We also reviewed numbers to 20.

To end the week, we produced a good using an assembly line. You will get to be the consumer and try our tasty snack.

I will post pictures of that soon.

Reading Logs

Please have your child read a book to you every night and record it in the reading log. I will start sending books home at the end of this week. If they do not have a book have them take turns reading a library book. You read one page and then they read the next and etc. Once you get 10 books you will get a pizza certificate from book it.
