Beam Signing

Today we got to sign a beam that will be displayed in the new art room next year! 

October 7-11

Our poem this week was "Itsy Bitsy Spider". We made movements to our poem, completed sorts, and completed a poetry page.

For word work, we sorted V/K, W/V, X/W, Y/W, and Z/Y. 

Our big book was "The Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly". We loved how silly this book was!

For writing, we moved into writing in books! Together as a class we wrote a book about our field trip to the pumpkin farm. The students are starting to sound words out all on their own!

For our read aloud, we read "Creepy Pair of Underwear". We thought the story was very funny! We worked on predicting, retelling, making connections, studying our main character, answering comprehension questions, and telling our favorite part. 

For math, we have been practicing with our ten-frames and our number racks! We even made some equations. 

For handwriting, we practiced letters H and K. 

For science, we talked about living vs. non-living. 

For guidance, we talked about being assertive. 

Our new word wall words this week were you and it. 

Benny was our special person of the week! We were so excited to learn more about Benny and for Mrs. Adams to come read to us!

I am sending home number practice sheets and alphabet practice sheets. Please practice these two skills at home with your child. 

We do not want backwards numbers or letters!

September 30th- October 3

Our week was all things pumpkin!

Our poem was "Pumpkin Patch". We made movements to our poem and completed some word sorts. 

For word work, we looked at U or B, S or U, P or S, X or P, and X or K. 

Our big book was "Miss Mary Mack". We thought the rhyming book was funny!

For writing we wrote B and drew a bird, wrote S and drew a snail, wrote P and drew a Pig, and wrote K and drew a Kangaroo. 

Our new word wall words were "the" and "we". 

For guidance, we talked about self talk and staying on task. 

Our read aloud was "Pumpkin Jack". We retold our story, made connections, and looked at the pumpkin life cycle. 

For math, we worked on patterns!

We had a blast at the pumpkin farm! We came back to school tired from carrying our heavy pumpkins and we are still finding corn EVERYWHERE!
