Dear Families,
Happy Halloween!!! Don't forget to set your clocks back on Sunday!
In science we are learning about the life cycle of a pumpkin.
We have spent the majority of the week on assessments and will continue that into next week. Please sign up for parent/teacher conferences if you haven't already!
Books Read: Big Pumpkin, Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat, Click, Clack, Boo!, Miss Smith and the Haunted Library, and Froggy's Halloween
During writing time they are starting to; visualize places and people to write about, add words (letters) to their pictures, rehearse what they want to say about what they wrote, take turns sharing their ideas and writing with partners and show movement in their drawings for a fun effect. We talked a lot this week about being BRAVE writers and adding more and more letters to our words and words to our sentences.
Animated Alphabet is our approach to phonemic awareness and spelling. The letters are taught through a multi sensory approach of music, dance, characters and signs which help the students hold onto that information. The character we learned this week was; Arnie Aardvark.
In math we are getting to know numbers 0-30, sorting, using math manipulatives, played oral counting games, played a game called "Spin a Number" to reinforce counting and reading numbers 1-10, recognized patterns through a pattern search activity and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school and days of the week.
We are learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)
Upcoming Events:
