Room 100 Newsletter
Week of September 27, 2015
I hope everyone has enjoyed the time off from school due to Pope Francis visiting Philadelphia. We were blessed with beautiful fall weather and I hope you took advantage of it! If you didn’t make it to town for the festivities, I hope you took some time to watch the pope on TV.
It is officially a new season.... Fall! We will be discussing the many changes this season brings.... clothing, weather, leaves, shorter days etc. We will talk about the many things we will see outside...acorns, mums, pumpkins, birds flying south to stay warm etc. We will make a chart using the 5 senses for Fall.
What do we see, hear, taste, touch, smell in the Fall?
Happy Birthday, Tess Oliver! September 27
