Dear Families,
Happy April! Looks like some sure signs of spring out there! Thank you to all who came to parent/ teacher conferences last week. It is so important to talk face to face every now and again. An update on me...I did miss the bottom step at school two weeks ago and am suffering from a severe sprained ankle/foot. The process will be a slow heal and I am trying to miss as little school time as I can. I am on crutches and have finally been able to be in an air cast. Thank you for all of your kind words of support during this difficult time. The learning will go on!
Books Read: A wide variety of weather, spring and Easter books
During writing time they are; writing to Pittston pen pals, visualizing places and people to write about, adding words (letters) to their pictures, rehearsing what they want to say about what they wrote, taking turns sharing their ideas and writing with partners, adding spaces between words and punctuation at the end of a sentence, 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. We have been writing words and sentences using our characters.
In math we are working with two digit numbers, measurement, 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. Also assessment for report cards.
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)
