Look What Fun We had Learning This Week!

Hello Families!!!

Take a look at some of the fun things we did this past week at Salina!!! We have been practicing letter identification. We have now been introduced to letters Aa through Jj! In addition to that we have started looking for hidden number pairs within 5!

Before reading the story of Mary Had a Little Lamb, we made predictions of what Mary had in her bag. The children drew their predictions.
We had a friend get to ring the Salina Bell for doing such a awesome job being responsible and working hard to his best at writing time!
We had some friends work together as a team to make this tall structure.
We practiced writing the letter Hh! We circled our best uppercase H and our best lowercase h.
We learned about the differences between non-fiction and fiction books! We sorted books into non-fiction or fiction bins!
We celebrated the first full day of Fall by painting with fall colors! We traced our hands to make these adorable Fall trees!
We made letters that we have been learning with play dough!
These are the contents I sent home in your child’s Book Buddy Bag! Please read the family note inside the bag for ideas and directions for practicing literacy with the items at home! Your child received a book, lowercase and uppercase letter tiles, an ABC chart as well as a bonus 100 chart! 🙂
We used dice and cubes to practice counting with our 5 frames!

We are practicing finding number pairs within 5 using cubes.
We used puff balls and clothes pins to make dip and dabbers to use for painting!
We danced with Captain America as we counted to 100!
We used cubes and dumped out 5 as we practiced counting with a number path items that are scattered.
We had another friend ring the Salina Bell! She did this because she demonstrated much kindness as she helped two different friends who needed help without being asked!
We are writers! We work in our writing notebooks everyday! 🙂

Thank you for all you do!!!!

Have a lovely week 5 of school!!! Happy Fall everyone!

Love, Ms. Mehrhof
