PIZZA LUNCH FRIDAY!! Please only send in a snack and drink for your child.

Ms. Debbie’s Class (The Magic Trains):
1.) Today we voted on a class name and decided on, “The Magic Trains.”
2.) During Language Arts we finished reading a short book called “If I Were the Weather”. We also acted out different types of weather such as rain, snow and wind.
3.) Fitness was great. We played jump through the hoola hoop, letter tag, and “Mr. Dan says”.
4.) Music with Deanna was a lot of fun. We practiced the songs that we will be performing for the Hebrew Home residents soon.
Please have your child complete their homework and have a great night!

Ms. Courtney’s Class (The Diener Dinosaurs):
What a top-notch Thursday! Today the Diener Dinosaurs...
1.) Worked on story sequencing - we colored and cut out story pictures, assembled them in the correct order, and then retold the story to our friends!
2.) Built patterns out of our word family words in math!
3.) Had fitness with Mr. Dan and music with Miss Deanna! We shared music with our friends from the K class and practiced songs that we're going to sing at the Hebrew Home later this month.

Ms. Kate’s Class (The Mighty Dieners):
1.) In Math we graphed the results from yesterday when we asked various people in the Diener School community, "What is your favorite stuffed animal? (frog, dog, alligator, lion or teddy bear).
2.) Ms. Kate started reading the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears. While she was reading, we had to find which picture represented what she was reading. We then colored the picture and cut it out! As we read the story we looked for the corresponding picture, color and cut, and then glued the pictures in sequential order!
3.) In Music, we sang "Over the River and Through the Woods" and "God Bless America" to practice for our trip to the Hebrew Home!

Mr. Paul’s Class (The Golden Owls):
Today in the Golden Owls we:
1.) Met with Ms. Jen for speech and worked on problem solving in social situations.
2.) Had fitness with Mr. Dan, music with Ms. Marilyn, and drama with Mr. Jim continuing with our work on teambuilding and teamwork.
3.) Discussed the importance of positivity. We also talked about how complaining is something we need to do less of.
