We talked about the sounds they make, brainstormed things that begin with each letter, and spent time practicing the proper formation of each letter. These letters will show up on next week\u2019s homework for a handwriting review.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reading\/Writing: <\/strong>This week we practiced components of our Daily 5 curriculum. The children are learning how to do the rotation for \u201cRead to Self.\u201d We also began practicing \u201cword work.\u201d \u00a0The children are doing great at adopting all the procedures for each rotation of our Daily 5 reading curriculum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Math: <\/strong>We continue to work on representing quantities with dots inside a ten frame. We learned how to properly form the number 7. We reviewed our procedures for math workshop and our number talks.<\/p>\n<p>We continued learning about shapes. \u00a0We made jack o\u2019 lanterns using different shapes to create the face. When the children were done building their face, they had to count how many of each shape they used. The children loved this project. Here is a picture of the completed jack o\u2019 lanterns:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/dimitriou\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1409\/2016\/10\/IMG_2735.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1075\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/dimitriou\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1409\/2016\/10\/IMG_2735-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"img_2735\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/dimitriou\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1409\/2016\/10\/IMG_2735-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/dimitriou\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1409\/2016\/10\/IMG_2735.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Social Studies: <\/strong>We continue to read books about being a good friend and following the rules. The children are really starting to get a handle on our routines and procedures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Science: <\/strong>We talked about apples this week and met with the other kindergarten classes to have a \u201cFun Friday\u201d activity. We all got together and made apple sauce with the apples that were sent to school. We also used some of the apples to paint pictures. The children also got to do some investigating with pumpkins. We learned if they sink of float, we measured how tall and round our pumpkin was, and we played a game called \u201croll-a-pumpkin.\u201d I will post pictures of our Fun Friday soon!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Housekeeping Items:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please make sure to\u00a0<strong>empty\u00a0<\/strong>the green folders each night!
