What a fantastic day!
We started our day by celebrating our Happy Camper and making their name book. We then transitioned to reading groups, where the kiddos worked on the letter Mm /m/ and Aa /a/ sounds, sight words, making their apple puppets, reading, and listening. We then ventured outside for a glorious recess in the sunshine. After our recess time, we did our message and calendar time. The kiddos focused on days of the week, months of the year, patterns, graphing, and place value. We then did our Daily News and answered the question, "What can you do?" After Daily News, we did a math lesson all about counting paths and the number 9. We worked on seeing the hidden partners in 9 (focusing mostly on 5 and 4 making 9). Finally, we did writing. The kiddos drew a picture of what they did at recess, labeled it, colored it, and then wrote a sentence about it. I'm in complete awe of your kiddos! They did a beautiful job following directions and writing their sentences!
Important Information:
1. Homework folders are due tomorrow. Inside
the folders, on the right back to school side, should be your child's
completed homework.
2. Library books are due tomorrow.
3. We have music and P.E. tomorrow. Please make sure your child is wearing appropriate shoes.
4. We will NOT have library tomorrow (am) or Monday (pm).
5. Please practice the flash cards you were given at Open House with your kiddo (sight words and numbers). Daily practice for just a few minutes is better than one big chunk at
once. Pick one thing to have your child work on, start with a few cards
and gradually add more as they learn them. You do not want to
overwhelm them in the first sitting. For example, if they do not know
all their letters, go through and pull out the ones that they know
without any prompting, then add one or two more that you want
to teach them. FYI: studies show that B and D need to be introduced
separately, students need to be solid on one, before you even think
about adding the other.
6. Donuts with Dad is October 22nd from 8-9am. Dads DO need to stay with students until 9am. There is not an early drop off.
7.
Just a reminder that the PTO and school calendars are linked on the
side of the blog. All upcoming events are posted there and is a great
resource.
8. Bring in any gently used costumes for our PV service project. Click HERE to read all about it!
