Rocky Ridge Orchard


Dear Families,


A huge THANK YOU for those who traveled to Rocky Ridge apple orchard with us this week. It was so much fun! I hope you heard all about it! Ask your student what their favorite part was. I hope the flooding this week didn't cause problems for any of you, we made out fine at my house. Keep a weather eye for the upcoming storm, please!

In science we are learning about the life cycle of the butterfly and continuing our apple unit. Eric Carle author study is still alive and well!

Books Read: Big, Red Apple, Mr. Brown's Magnificent Apple Tree, Apple Countdown, Apple Trouble, Johnny Appleseed, The Very Busy Spider, The Very Quiet Cricket    The song: APPLE (sung to the tune of BINGO!

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.

In math we are getting to know numbers 0-10, sorting, discussing a graph, using math manipulatives, finger counting, working with shapes 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)
