Dear Families,
PLEASE be on the lookout for the field trip permission slips in your student's folder for our upcoming trip to Rocky Ridge Orchard. Remember to include the $5 and signed permission slip on Monday. Thank you for those earbuds/headphones that came in this week. We will hopefully be starting next week with some guided technology practice. Also a huge shout out for all the classroom supplies that arrived!
In science we continue to learn about the life cycle of the butterfly. We currently have 10 caterpillars still munching and we have let four butterflies start their journey to Mexico. The one on the bulletin board and the lost one (found on Curious George) were both perfectly fine when they made their grand entrance! We have learned so much about the caterpillar life cycle!
Books Read: The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Very Busy Spider, 10 Little Rubber Ducks, and many other Eric Carle favorites!
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; Mimi Mermaid and Max the Ox/ Felix Fox.
In math we are getting to know numbers 0-10, sorting, discussing a graph, using math manipulatives, using 5 frames, practicing with quick looks at collections of dots, 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 still 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)
