Hello Families!
We had fun celebrating a little bit of fall this week with some apple activities! We learned about John Chapman (aka Johnny Appleseed), taste tested apples and graphed our favorite, made an apple treat, read 10 Apples Up On Top, and learned about the process apples go through to get from the farm to the stores. Thank you to all those families that were able to send items in!
Literacy - This week we learned a poem called Apples, Apples. We also focused on the letters Cc, Ff, Dd, and Gg. We learned the sight words "and" and "like". We also continued to review previous taught letters, sounds, and sight words. Check out the learning being done below in our morning message, with playdough, in books, and with whiteboards! This week we read another story by Kevin Henkes called Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse and worked on skills such as making predictions, retelling the story, and explaining what our favorite part was and why. Being able to give a reason for why was a little tricky but it will be something they continue to work on.
Writing - What a fun week for this Pencil Pack writing club! (A nickname they voted on a few weeks ago.) They learned that writers don’t just write stories on one piece of paper. Instead they come up with a plan and write on multiple pages. Students also learned that authors don't just write by themselves but instead they need the help of many people. Students took turns sharing their story with their table partner while their partner listened and then asked questions to give the writer more ideas/details to add to their story. This week they created their own teaching stories on a few pieces of paper. I will be having them upload their stories on Seesaw next week, so be sure to look for them!
Math - We have been working on writing numbers with the correct formation, identifying a given amount in a ten frame as well as identifying how many are not give. For instance, if there are 7 dots then 3 dots are missing and 7 & 3 are partners that make 10. We are also working on showing a given number in multiple ways (4 = 4+0, 1+3, 2+2, 3+1, 0+4, 5-1)
This week, as I mentioned on Seesaw, we also learned how to find activities that have been assigned in Seesaw and are learning how to use the different tools. It's amazing how good kids are with technology! Next week I hope to introduce them to a few other programs!
The kids have been loving art class this week! Ms. Elsbernd, the art teacher is looking for BROWN PAPER GROCERY BAGS. So if you have any, please send them to school and I will get them to her. Thanks!
Have a wonderful weekend!
