Yellow Day!

Our Cochran kids are great at raising money for those in need. We raised several hundred dollars during our "Popping for a Purpose". We showed our support by wearing yellow and buying popcorn!

We LOVE ABC!!

We love going to ABC on Day 3! This week I will meet you at the gym on Thursday at 8:45 AM.

Mr. Michaels Loves Pie!!

Three of our friends names were drawn to throw a pie at Mr. Michaels. Looks like they have pretty good aim!! We raised a lot of money at our Walk/run-a-thon. Because we did, Mr. Michaels was a good sport about having pie thrown at him. We won second place for the amount of money our class raised.

Fire Safety

We learned about fire safety.

Sequencing

We learned about sequencing. We loved reading The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid Of Anything!  We were able to put the parts of the story together in order. Ask your child to retell this story to you!

Pumpkins! Pumpkins! Pumpkins!

We read about pumpkins. We wrote about pumpkins. We even did some estimating with our pumpkin! We would like to thank Ella's family for donating our pumpkin to our class! The kids LOVED it!

Our pumpkin weighed 14 pounds and it was 13 cubes tall!

Now our pumpkin is in the "Kinder-Garden" and we are hoping the seeds we left inside will help a new pumpkin grow next year!!

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

We learned about setting and characters in our stories. As you are reading to your child at night, you can discuss with them who the characters are and where the story takes place.
