Dear Families,
Our walk at school activities today were so much fun! To have students from Kindergarten to 8th grade all joining to gather for a morning full of fun and imagination is exactly what WCS is all about! Have a safe Halloween and remember those pesky clocks!
In science we are learning about the changes we see in fall and the life cycle of a pumpkin.
Books Read: Growing Pumpkins, In a Dark, Dark Wood, Bony Legs, Georgie's Halloween, Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat, Click, Clack, Boo!
During writing time they are starting to; observe objects found in nature, draw a real life representation of that object and label it like a real scientist. They are working hard during partner time to practice sharing their piece of writing and give important feedback back to their partner in order for our writing to be full of detail and understanding. We talk a lot 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; Jenny Jaguar.
In math we are getting to know numbers 0-50, sorting, using math manipulatives, created and solved number stories, reviewed spatial vocabulary and concepts (top, below, between, next to, around, over, under, left, right), and continued 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:
Markers, Clorox Wipes, Play-dough
