Dear Families,
What a wonderful lunch celebration we had today with our grandparents and grandfriends. Delicious food and good company!
A bit of help that I need... please assist your child by making sure there are no toys or other distractions in their backpacks or pockets. We have had many instances of students "giving, trading, sharing, lending" items and we honestly don't have the time for those distractions in our day. I really need your help with this and I thank you in advance.
The turkey projects are pouring in and they are simply wonderful! The children enjoy sharing their families with their friends. If you haven't brought it back yet, please do this week!
If you have not signed up for conferences yet, please do. I can't wait to talk about your student's first trimester of kindergarten.
Honey and Clover (our traveling stuffed animals) have visited quite a few houses and had some wonderful adventures so far. Thank you for taking care with them!
We are telling stories across pages in our writing blocks. Sharing work with partners and adding details have all added to our good work in writing!
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 about this week were; Kimmy Kangaroo and Farley Fox
In math we are working with teen numbers, recognizing teen numbers through movement, formation of numbers, addition and subtraction practice 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)
