The week prior to fall break Ms. Berry's class in kindergarten hosted a "Counting Cafe." Mrs. Berry's class has been practicing their counting and sorting skills. As a result, the "Counting Cafe" was an opportunity to practice even more and fulfill some lunch orders using a menu created by Mrs. Berry. This was also a wonderful opportunity to practice social skills. Great job!

Each year we encourage our students to continue learning during the extended breaks such as Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, etc. This Wednesday, your child should bring home a pink sheet in his/her Blossomwood folder (as pictured below) with the directions for participating in the voluntary Fall Break Learning Challenge which includes a reading, math, and family event challenge.

More specifically, one ticket can be earned for completing the reading challenge, one ticket can be earned for completing the math challenge, and/or one ticket can be earned for completing the family challenge. To be clear, the child can choose to do one, two, or all three challenges. We will be giving away several donated prizes including gift cards for ice cream, wireless headphones, etc.

Please see Dr. Scott's 10-12-26 Smore newsletter for more information and to view pictures of the Counting Cafe.
