the pledge of allegiance, said our class promise and did
calendar. We sang our ‘Days’ and ‘Months’ songs,
subitized to 1-12 dots, read our popcorn words, did our
ABC chart, sang our vowel song and reviewed our habits of
thinkers. We practiced for our program. We learned our new

introduced to our new poem ‘Three Little Kittens’. We
watered our bean plants in the courtyard. The AM class

unifix cubes.

Dear Parents,

‘performance’, in the gym, will last approximately 20 minutes and will be
followed by refreshments in the commons. The students have been working
hard and are getting excited to entertain you!
