Today in your child's blue folder or backpack you will find a copy of the student directory. This has addresses and phone numbers for all students in the school!

This week we read the book Leaf Man by Lois Elhert. I intended to give the children the opportunity to gather materials on the playground for their own leaf creations, but our attempts were thwarted by the wet weather. Instead children will be working on this in a station next week. Hopefully we will have a chance to gather things at school on Monday, but I also encourage them to find things at home this weekend and bring them in in a labeled baggie. Good things to look for include all kinds of leaves, seeds, flowers etc. Flatter items work best.
