Community Helpers and Letter Cc

**COMING UP** Beginning Monday we are beginning a unit on Apples.  Please bring your favorite type of apple to school no later than Friday, September 21.**

This week we learned about community helpers.  We learned about the important jobs of those in the community that help us in our town. 

 The students enjoyed making crafts for community helpers.

Builders with tool belts

 Doctor bags and hats

 Community helper play-doh fun!

 Yummy traffic light

 Practicing making a pattern with fruit loops

 Learning on the computers

 Continuing to practice numbers

 This fun activity helped us with the letter of the week, Cc, as well as counting and writing numbers.

The students rolled the dot-cube to determine how many "sprinkles", "chocolate chips" and "candles" to add to their cupcake.

 Cc is for cupcake

 Cc Show and Tell - Isaiah "Cofield", "Cookie" the dog, and "cat"

Wednesday, September 19 - SCHOOL PICTURES - Students may wear any top they choose for school pictures.  Their bottoms (pants, shorts, skirts, shoes) must still be school dress code compliant.

Beginning this week your child will have a weekly reader in their folder.  This is a copy of a decodable book that we will be practicing reading in class.  Your child should read this book to you each night and leave in their folder throughout the week.  On Friday, leave the book at home and keep for additional practice.

If you send money with your child (lunch money, fundraiser, smencil, etc.), please put it in an envelope or ziploc bag.  Please write your child's name and what the money is for on the outside of the envelope or bag.  Please place this in your child's folder.

Community Helpers and Letter Ii

This week was a short three day week, we enjoyed "Fall Break" at the beginning of the week.  But we still had plenty of time to learn all about community helpers!

The students enjoyed completing the community helper puzzle sets.

 Making doctor hats

 And doctor bags

 Tool belts

 Tasty firetrucks and traffic lights!

 We read many great books that taught us some of the important jobs of community helpers.  We also learned about fire safety and that we need to "Stop, Drop and Roll"!

 We learned the most from the community helpers themselves!  On Friday, many community helpers visited our school and talked to us about their jobs.  They also showed us some of the equipment and tools they use to do their jobs.  This was so exciting, the students loved learning from these special guests.

Purvis Fire and Resuce

 Sheriff's Department 

 One of our favorite guest was this very brave police dog.

 ASAP Ambulance 

 Bo's dad is a State Trooper, everyone loved asking questions and Bo was very proud of his dad.  Mr. Jason let all the students get in the car and make the siren and horns go off!  Super cool!

 Pearl River Valley Power Association

Cody's dad works with the Emergency Management.  He had many cool tools and lots of equipment to share with us.  Cody was very proud to have his dad at school with us.  Thank you, Mr. James!

 Everyone got coloring books, crayons and rulers from the community helpers.  What a fun day!!  We are very thankful for all they do to help our community and we loved having them at our school!

 This week we learned the letter Ii, Joseph and Jacob brought "indian hat" and "Ironman" for Show-and-Tell.  Incredible!!
