Dear Families,
A huge THANK YOU for those who traveled to Rocky Ridge apple orchard with us this week. It was so much fun and the sadness they felt in the rain on Tuesday was turned into smiles and enthusiasm on our sunny trip! I hope you heard all about it!
We made applesauce on Friday with the apples we bought at Rocky Ridge and after lots of turning and squishing, we ate the delicious treat! I hope you found the apple core I sent home with the attached instructions for planting your own apple tree.
In science we are learning about the life cycle of the butterfly and have begun our apple unit. We currently have 10 caterpillars in chrysalis, 5 caterpillars still munching and we have let one butterfly start his journey to Mexico. We have learned so much about the caterpillar life cycle!
Books Read: Big, Red Apple, There Was An Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly, Wiggle's Apple Book
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 characters we learned this week were; Max the Ox/ Felix Fox and Actress Annie.
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)
Upcoming Events:
