Jr. Achievement
Our class is starting the Jr. Achievement program this
week. This program will last for 5 weeks
and will cover the following topics:
families, needs & wants, jobs, and paying for needs &
wants. Our presenter is Ms. Ross, a
volunteer from the McDonald’s Corporation.
She will come into our classroom once a week for 30 minutes to teach
each lesson. These lessons coordinate
with our social studies curriculum.
Boo
to You!
After reading the story, Boo to You!, by Lois Ehlert, the class
collected leaves from the playground to make a spooky looking cat. We then wrote a couple of sentences
describing our cats. The children really
enjoyed this project.

We will focus on making predictions, connections, and inferences within a story.
