Ms. Jazmin & Ms. Marion
Week of September 28, 2015
A Note from Ms. Jazmin:
Hopefully you have been able to visit Sumdog and Zing!. I posted login information on both sites in previous posts this week. I also sent home information on ABCMouse for a few students on Thursday. ABCMouse is not appropriate for all students as it is geared towards beginning readers.
This week we had Ms. Cara, that is taking some time off to be with her baby, come in and give a lesson/presentation on Sri Linka. Ms. Cara spent some extended time in Sri Lanka volunteering in an elephant sanctuary and had many photos, items, and experiences to share with the students. Also, thank you for those that continue to send in items from countries in Asia. The students and I are really enjoying the discussions that are springing from these artifacts! We have items from China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Japan, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and we have shown items from India and Sri Lanka that were returned to their respective homes.
We have an exciting visitor coming to us and a few other classes next week on Wednesday! The visitor is a hydroponic garden specialist and he is coming to talk to the students about hydroponic systems and to help us get started with our own hydroponic garden in the classroom!
Below are some fall activities in our area to enjoy with your children. Make sure to go to the respective websites for more information and details:
Madrac Farms Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maize-Rincon, GA
Savannah Octoberfest-River Street
Holiday Farms Pumpkin Patch, Hayrides, and Pig Races- Ridgeland, SC
Savannah Children's Museum and Scribble Art Studio (story time and art workshops)
Reminder: Please send in all complete permission slips and exact change or check of $9.25. Thank you!

Upcoming HEALTHY snack weeks for 26 students: We do have a low level peanut allergy in the classroom, so we do prefer peanut free snacks so that the student may also participate in snack with the class.
Some suggestions for snack are: precut fruit (apples, grapes, bananas cut in half, oranges, etc.), precut vegetables with hummus for dipping, cheese and crackers, granola bars or chewies, trail mix, applesauce, hummus and crackers, yogurt or Gogurt, graham crackers… The purpose of snack is to provide a nutritious energy booster when the students need it. Please keep in mind the nutritional value when choosing a snack.
