Butterfly Class News
Week of November 3 - 7
All About Spiders!
We have a short week this week, due to Parent/Teacher conferences. Classes will be held Monday - Wednesday. Enjoy the long weekend!
Last Week
We talked a lot about what is REAL vs. PRETEND last week, and enjoyed reading some silly monster and ghost stories. Our Halloween parties were a success. Thank you to all the parents who sent in food and treats, as well as came and helped set-up. You guys rock!

This Week
We have a short week this week. We will be learning about spiders, writing spider stories for our portfolios, making our own spiders, and patterning with spiders. We will be reviewing letters A, B, C, D, and E. Teacher Jaylene will also be finishing up assessments in preparation for conferences.

Conferences
I am looking forward to talking with all of the parents about their awesome kids! We have a great class this year. Please let me know if you don't remember when you signed up for conferences. Just email or text me, and I will get back to you promptly.

Winter Concert
We are going to start practicing our songs for the Winter concert which will be held on Tuesday, December 9. We are looking for a pianist for both concerts - Monday, December 8 and Tuesday, December 9. If you or someone you know are willing and able to volunteer to accompany our Little Acorn concerts, please let Teacher Katie know. Thanks!

Illness
Please let us know if your child is sick and will not be coming to school that day. You can call the office at 360-693-5614 and talk to Katie or leave a message, or you can call/text Teacher Jaylene at 360-624-3673.

Word Wall - Review Week!
We will be reviewing letters A, B, C, D, and E this week. Your child may bring in anything beginning with any of these letters. We have a basket in the classroom to keep things safe until we share them at closing circle. Your child is welcome to bring something any day they attend class.
