Letter Bucket and Mickey the Monkey

Yesterday, we began sending home our "class pet," Mickey the Monkey.  He will come home in a green bag and a journal to write in.  You and your child can take him everywhere and then tell us about your adventures.  You can even send in pictures or email them to me to put on the blog!!

We also sent home the letter bucket.  This is for your child to find 3 things that begin with the letter in the bucket.  They will give clues to their classmates to guess what they have in the bucket.
