Wednesday October 29

Dear Mom and Dad:

Mrs. McEvoy was away today, ask me to tell you our guest teacher’s name is I am in her group.

During math, we used our pumpkins as a standard of measurement to measure ourselves! Ask me to tell you how many pumpkins tall I am. We first predicted how many pumpkins tall we thought we were and then actually measured each other and record it in our math journals.

We are looking at how we belong in the bigger picture. Today we drew a picture of ourselves on a small circle and then thought about what else we might belong to, a family. On a slightly bigger circle we drew a picture of our family. We will draw in 6 circles altogether so we can visually see all of the groups that we belong to.

Mrs. McEvoy’s class had music today.

Love,

The Rainbow Triad
