September 15, 2017









Dear Families,

Books Read: The Very Hungry Caterpillar, A Caterpillar's Wish, Butterfly Suits, I'm a Caterpillar, Butterfly Life Cycle and a variety of Eric Carle books. We also acted out the Very Hungry Caterpillar story with props and ate a fruit salad that had all of the yummy fruit in it that the caterpillar ate through. 

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 have learned about so far are; Polly Panda, Uncle Upton, Ollie Ostrich.

In math we are getting to know numbers, introducing attributes and sorting, multisensory counting, patterns 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).

ITEM NEEDED: Each student is being asked to provide either earphones or earbuds for use with or Chromebook time. I will place them  in an individual bag with your student's name on it. They will be kept at school for daily/bi-daily work. Thank you so much!

Other~ Some have asked about things they can donate to the classroom and the following are items we are in need of all year long; plastic spoons,  hand sanitizer, tissues, and extra snacks to keep on hand in case someone forgets theirs. Again, thank you!
