Fair Field Trip and Other Things

We had a great time at the fair last week! This was some of the kiddos first time to ever ride a school bus!
They had the opportunity to pet chickens and many other farm animals
 This week they played minute to win it! This has helped them learn their sight words.
 They learned what syllables are this week. We turned out the lights and used these lights to practice counting syllables. 
So far it's been a great week!!

Don't forget, the nursery rhyme parade and birthday celebration is this Friday!

Fair Field Trip
Friday, September 21st we will be taking our first field trip to the fair to look at the farm animals.  This is a very short field trip and is used to get the students familiar with riding the bus, practicing bus rules, and staying with our group when we are out on field trips.  We will leave school around 8:30, travel to the fair, walk through the animals (takes about an hour), and then return school around 10:00.  Parents are more than welcome to attend; however, siblings are not.  If you are interested in attending, you can follow the bus from school or meet us at the fair.  Students must ride the bus to the fair and stay with their class while at the fair.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!!
