= = =Literacy Night = The elementary school will host an evening of literacy events for all students and parents. Families will listen to stories in the library and watch stories come to life in the theater. Please join us this Wednesday at 6 pm! The PTA will also be in the Assembly Room selling books. This is a great opportunity for parents to purchase books for their children.

Our class will be going to the book fair tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 to have a look at the selection. Students are **NOT** to bring in money. Parents are invited to come in at this time **IF** you would like your child to purchase a book. The PTA book fair will be open from Mon. thru Wed., 7:30-3:30.

__**Movement**__ – We are listening to music with different rhythm and sound. We’re moving our bodies to different beats and even paying attention to the pitch. The higher the pitch with a steady beat changes our bodies into a tip-toe position.

__**Eye-Dropper Painting**__ – We are working on controlling the small muscles on our fingertips to use eye-droppers with colored water to paint on coffee filters. The children are learning to “squeeze and release” with control.

__**Math Game**__ – We’re working on number/digit recognition by placing the correct number of objects in a cup with the corresponding number. Partners will check for accuracy.
