Shape Walk
Last week, the children from room 283 went for a walk in the neighborhood. While they walked, they held various shapes in their hands; the children were trying to find things in the neighborhood that matched the shapes they were holding. They found triangles on houses, rectangles on signs, and squares on steps – plus many more shapes. Everyone had a delightful time, and it was a great day for a walk! See photos from the walk >>
Tobin Students Have "Read" to Asia!
Read Around the World has been going strong, but we are only about halfway around the world. Almost all students have read at least one book that reflects a culture from somewhere in the world, and some students have read from each of the seven continents! Parents are welcome to come up to the library and get books to take home, especially with the holidays coming up. I have a large collection of folktales that make great read-alouds. All books count, so if you have some at home encourage your child(ren) to remember to fill out tickets for the wall. Blank tickets are in all the classrooms and the library. This program will end on International Night, December 3rd, when the students will be recognized.
Lost & Found
Check out the lost and found area. You never know what you are going to find! All clothing will be removed on Wednesday, November 25th.
International Night – Volunteers Needed!
It's only two weeks away, and we are looking for volunteers for the Parade of Nations, cafeteria, and the activities tables. Last year's International Night was a great experience and your help was what made it wonderful. This year we're hoping for an event even more fun and enriching and hope you'll join us again by participating in running an activity table. Please let me know if you're already planning the best Table Activity of 2014! If you are able to help with the biggest event of the year, PLEASE contact Mary Frawley at [email protected] for all the details. Learn more >>
