Dear Families,
We have had such a fun week with all of our silly Dr. Seuss activities. We began the week with our community reader who came in and read three classic stories to us as well as let us have a turn strumming her guitar and we ended the week going up to the 3rd floor as the 6th graders treated us to their Dr. Seuss Cafe. Please ask your child about this as it was so much fun!
Books Read: Many, many, many Dr. Seuss books! A few were; The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, Go!Dog!Go!, ABC, Mr. Brown Can Moo-Can You? and on and on!
During writing time they are; writing personal letters to their pen pals in Pittston, writing a thank you letter to our community reader, and continuing to teach others through our how-to writing unit.
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; Yakety Yak.
In math we are being introduced to the different attributes of shapes, working with two digit numbers, formation of numbers, addition and subtraction practice, counting and number recognition, solving number stories 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)
