How is the end of November here already?? The year is going by so fast.. This past month, students explored a different - not your typical color or shape pattern. Although the pattern took a little while to figure out, students have now mastered this A, B, C, D pattern that shows butterflies in different directions. Working on learning our right and left, students often demonstrated this pattern with their hands. Using their whole body, students were able to practice and master the pattern. INQUIRE with your child about this month's pattern. 
November is just about over and so are 57 school days. These school days have been filled with curiousity, creativity, learning, and laughter. Students have been keeping track of each day in school this year and counting them each day. INQUIRE with your child how they count how many days in school. I encourage students to think of a variety of ways to solve problems - not just one. Just as we can count these links by 1's we can also count by 10's and 1's. Today, children decided to count by 10's to 60, then subtract 3! What clever mathematicians we have!
