Hello Families!

Our caterpillars----chrysalis----butterfly cycle has finished up! We have released 15 monarch butterflies into the world so they can start that long migration to Mexico! We ended up with 5 females and 10 males. Bye Bye, Butterflies! Safe travels~

We are steadily working our way through our Alphabet Bootcamp. 26 letters in 26 days. You have noticed their headbands coming home and the little readers that go along with the letters practiced. Often time we run out of time to add color and details to these readers. Feel free to have your student color and read these books to you. Maybe keep them all in one place and read them at night along with your nightly read aloud. Students will gain great independence when practicing books they are able to read. 

In math we are getting to know numbers 0-10, sorting, discussing a graph, using math manipulatives, 10 frames, positional words, finger counting, working with shapes and continuing our calendar routines. 

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:

11/11 - Veterans Day - NO SCHOOL

11/12 - PD Day - NO SCHOOL

Hello Families!

Our caterpillars----chrysalis----butterfly cycle is finishing up! We have released 11 monarch butterflies into the world so they can start that long migration to Mexico! Gotta go-Gotta go- Gotta go to Mexico! It has been an amazing length of time to make daily observations and to await their arrival! Bye Bye, Butterflies!

Reminder that there is no school tomorrow or Monday. I hope you all have a lovely long weekend!

We continue to wait for our butterflies to come out of their chrysalises. It is getting cooler and we want them to get safely to Mexico!

We painted our pumpkins that we picked out at Rocky Ridge and they will be traveling home today. They aren't meant to go outside, but instead to be enjoyed inside. 

I appreciate the open communication you are showing and am hoping my feedback is helpful. As always, please email me with anything you need to have clarification about. Thank you!

We are finishing our study of the life cycle of the butterfly. All but 1 caterpillar is in chrysalis mode and working on that fabulous metamorphosis! One little caterpillar is trying to grow big enough to move into that next phase...

We had a FABULOUS trip to Rocky Ridge Orchard and had a delicious apple and doughnut. We picked up a small pumpkin we will be painting in art class and bringing home soon! The hay ride was so much fun. We also brought home a bag of apples and concluded the week with a warm applesauce to end our Friday. We all helped peel and core the apples and are bringing home the core and seeds with directions on how to plant an apple tree. Fun!

Books Read: Pete the Cat Falling for Autumn, The Big Apple, and the song-A-P-P-L-E

 (which is sung like "Bingo)

In math we are getting to know numbers 0-10, sorting, discussing a graph, using math manipulatives, 10 frames,  finger counting, working with shapes and continuing our calendar routines. 

We began a letter of the day series this week and we have completed A, B, and C! You might see headbands coming home with a picture that represents that letter and sound we are working on for the day. This is a very quick review of 26 letters in 26 days and is a whole lot of fun!
