Group Meeting:  We are starting a new study.  During the next two weeks, we will be learning about Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.  

Story:  The story for today was The Paperbag Princess by Robert Munsch.  This story is about a princess whose castle is destroyed by a dragon.  The dragon also captures the prince that she is going to marry.  The princess' clothes were destroyed by the fire so she found a paperbag to wear as a dress.  She manages to outwit the dragon and save her prince.  However, this story has a different ending than you might think.  Ask your child to tell you what the prince says as he is saved from the dragon and how the princess responds. 

Study:  What is in the trash?  This is a question that we answered today by dumping out the garbage can.  I used gloves to sort out the things that were in the garbage can under my desk.  We found coffee cups, wrappers, papers, tissues, plastic zip-lock bags, and bags from toys.  We had a discussion about things that we throw away and where it goes once it leaves the school.  This week, we will be learning about where the garbage goes and what would happen if we didn't put garbage in it's place.

Letter Learning:  We are reviewing some letters and putting them into words that we can read.  Today's letter was Cc.

Snacks:  The snack for today was ranch Wheat Thins, cheese sticks, milk, and water.
