What do we use to count the days of school? (Red and blue stickers, red and blue chain links)
What was your favorite story to listen to?
How did you get an Eagle Feather?
Can you sing me the song/show me the hand motions for each letter and letter sound? (Students that went to 4K know most of them, in kindergarten we have gone through the letter "W".)
Who was the feather slip winner on Friday? (Josey)
What was your favorite activity from our "all school" field trip to Camp Minikani? (nature walk, field games, learning about bats, learning about skulls and furs, or bug catching)
Who did you sit by on the bus?
Where did you eat your lunch?
What was your favorite "Spookley" treat? (ice cream orange soda float, or graham cracker/frosting/cookie)
How did you make your "Spookley" pumpkin? (We used our fingers to paint the pumpkin, then used construction paper for the stem, leaves, and eyes.)

(REPEATED Information)

McTeacher Night is October 31st! Come to the McDonalds on Main St. Between 4pm-7pm to earn money for Decorah school! I'll be working the 4:00-5:30 shift, and I hope to see you there!
We have library every Thursday. Books should be returned by the following Wednesday (or sooner).
Homework comes home most Fridays and is due the following Friday. Please do not spend more than 5-10 minutes on it. If it is too hard for your child, stop, jot me a note, and don't worry about it!
If you have gently used clothing to donate to our clinic, our health room can always use it! They are also always in need of underwear for students that may have accidents.
I linked, below, the song we listen to while we practice number formations. Warning before you play it: the song will be stuck in your head! :)
