It has been a fun filled week here at Woolwich Central School! Fire Safety and a visit from our local fire fighters are always a big hit for the children! I heard stories of the open house at the fire station as well. The bouncy house sounds like it was a lot of fun.
In science we are learning about the changes we see in fall and in social studies we are learning all about fire safety
Books Read: Alphabet Rescue, Clifford The Fire House Dog, Firehouse!, Fire Fighters, Curious George at the Fire Station
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; Timmy Tiger and Sadie Seal.
In math we are getting to know numbers 0-30, sorting, using math manipulatives, identifying shapes by feel, reviewed spatial vocabulary and concepts (top, below, between, next to, around, over, under, left, right), 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)
Items we could use in our classroom:
Clorox Wipes, Tissues
