Dear Families,
A friendly reminder that we go outside if the temperature is above 10 degrees (wind chill). It is very important that the children are covered from head to toe while outside getting fresh air and exercise. If you would like to send in snow pants to stay here or extra hats/mittens or comfy slippers that is great. PLEASE make sure your child's name is inside somewhere. You can't believe how many children have the exact same stuff! An extra set of clothes is also welcome for those days when the snow gets into those places and the children are wet. I want them to be comfortable and safe this winter.
Books Read: Many versions of The Gingerbread Man (Girl/Boy) The gingerbread projects that have come in so far are spectacular! If you have not sent yours in yet, please do!
During writing time they are; visualizing places and people to write about, adding words (letters) to their pictures, rehearsing what they want to say about what they wrote, take turns sharing their ideas and writing with partners, going back into their writing pieces and revising what they have written by changing or adding to what they wrote and continuing to build up their confidence as writers.
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; Ike and his Night Ride
In math we are working with teen numbers, formation of numbers, making pictures to match the number written, addition and subtraction practice, describing patterns, counting and number recognition, learned a new game called Growing Train 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)
