The day our class ate WORMS!!! YUCK!


We read the story "I Brought A Worm."  In the story, the little girl brings a worm to show and tell.  Can you guess what she did to the worm?  After hearing the story, we couldn't resist the temptation of trying a worm ourselves.

Update

We are off to a great start!  Parents thank you for getting all your paper work returned in such a timely manner.  I appreciate that!  Please continue to practice writing your child's name with them and practicing those nursery rhymes.  Sight words should be going home next week so we will begin working on our words.  Have a great weekend!

*A website you may want to check out at home for reinforcement is http://www.internet4classrooms.com/ or http://www.starfall.com/.  The students are learning to use these sites in our computer centers.  It is a website that reinforces learning skills while making it fun at the same time!
