Reading for the Record!!

Today we are reading for the record! Joining with more than 2.5 million children across the country our class will read Not Norman: A Goldfish Story, by Kelly Bennett. This year is the 10th anniversary of Jumpstart's Read for the Record, a campaign to make sure every child in America enters school prepared to succeed! It is a great cause, and a great excuse to do what we love...READ!

Want to reread the book with your student at home?

Pumpkin raffle at Spooktacular

Tomorrow at Spooktacular (3-6 at Memorial) there will be a raffle for character pumpkins made by Underhill teachers and staff. All proceeds raised will go towards the Underhill Playground Fund. 

 This is just a sneak peak, there will be more pumpkins on display and available to win tomorrow!

Fire Safety

Today the Hooksett Fire Department came to teach us all about fire safety for Fire Prevention Week. The fire fighters taught the children to listen for the smoke detectors, stay low and feel the door with the back of their hand. They even demonstrated what to do if the smoke alarm went off while you were sleeping. 

If you do not already have a safe meeting place outside you can decide on one this week after you check your smoke detector batteries. 

The students also got to go outside to check out the fire truck and even climb in it. 

Big thanks to the Hooksett Fire Deparment for teaching us about fire safety and keeping us safe in Hooksett!!!

Indoor recess

Yesterday we had our first indoor recess. The students had many activities to choose from and this shows just a few options. Everyone was great about sharing and picked up quickly to get to lunch. I'm looking forward to our next rainy day and chance to play together inside!

Here are just a few of the fun things we did:

Building with blocks

Drawing and coloring

Building with Legos

It looks like I will have to get some more Legos to share. We have many master builders!

Fun filled first week!

We had such a fun first week of school!

In math  we practiced building numbers on a ten frame. Look how many ways there are to show 6!

We also put our first two word wall words up and got our first decidable, See. I hope you got to hear your student read it!

And today the students shared all their favorite parts of our first week. Recess is prett popular as you can see....

Have a restful weekend!
