Week
of October 10, 2016
Thank you to all the parents that participated in
our Student-Led Conferences. I hope you
enjoyed your child giving you a taste of all the fun things we do in our
classroom – they were quite excited to sing to you and show you around. It was also great having an opportunity to
meet with each of you. Please remember
that your child has homework Monday-Thursday. If you see a paper WITHOUT a
score on it – it’s probably homework J. On Friday your child should be
bringing home a classroom book to enjoy reading with you over the weekend. We had our first Book Club Meeting on
Wednesday. We had so much fun reading
with our 1st and 8th
grade friends. The snack was pretty good
too! We still have several weeks in the
Spring available for snack sign up. I
will be sending home a copy of the snack sign-up sheet, which includes all of
our meeting dates for this school year.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21ST IS THE
WALK-A-THON!! This is our
biggest fundraiser of the year. Each
student needs to bring in at least $50.00 in donations. We will be leaving at 1:15. Parents and younger siblings are welcome to
join us! If you ordered a walk-a-thon
t-shirt your child may wear it, jeans, and tennis shoes to school. If you did not order this year’s t-shirt,
your child may wear their orange gym shirt or a previous year’s walk-a-thon
t-shirt.
Religion: This week we continued to pray the Rosary
each day. It is such a calm time of the
day to hear the children reciting the Hail Mary and the Glory Be each
morning. We learned that God creates and
loves ALL people. We also learned that
because God loves us, we can love too.
Language Arts: This week we worked with beginning and middle
o /o/ sound words. We met a new friend,
Alf. He likes adventures and
animals. We reviewed vocabulary words:
mountain, palm tree, alligator, ostrich, cave, and lion. The comprehension skills we worked on were using illustrations to help understand a story.
Math: This week we started a new unit focused on
matching sets and using a 5-frame to compare.
We learned about “same as”, “greater than” and “less than”. We learned how to play War using a deck of playing cards so we could practice recognizing
which numbers are greater and less than each other.
Social Studies: This week we worked on several different
areas. We learned about what the
American flag and the Pledge of Allegiance stand for. We used position words (above, next to, in
front of…) to look at different perspectives of the world. We compared a globe and a map, as well as
looked at Google Earth. We talked about why we have rules. We noticed that we may have different rules
at home and school, but we have rules to keep us safe.
COMING UP …
Language Arts: We will be working with medial sounds /o/ and
/a/. We will also be working with
beginning sound d/d/.
Math: We will be working on representing, counting
and writing numbers 6-9.
