What We Did During Our Week:
This week we learned about the letters E and V! We continue to work on rhyming – they are starting to get the hang of it! Our labeling for pictures has gotten much better and I’m starting to see some kids stretch out their words when writing rather than letter stringing. We continue to work on crisp pointing – which means that we point right under the word, not 3 inches below. This is a skill that will continue throughout majority of the year. We have also been finishing up our spooky Halloween story! Each child has added their illustrations to their pages. We will be shipping our work to Scholastic next week in order for it to get made into a book!
Here is one of our friends modeling some excellent crisp pointing while reading! 🙂

We finished math testing and have moved onto the second half of module 1. We are talking about numbers 5-10 now. Students should be able to write their numbers to at least 7 independently. We play a lot of fun math games, such as “fast counting” and “groups of 5”. The kids love these, and these are great games you can play at home – just ask them how to play! 🙂
Science for the month of October is Push and Pull. We will be doing some small experiments throughout the month as we learn about force, and pushing and pulling.
Other:
Tuesday we had a choir concert from Dearborn High students. They loved it!
Thursday we met with big buddies – they read a poem together, “Five Little Pumpkins” and colored together.
Also, THANK YOU for reminding me of your conference times! I promise I’m usually organized! Haha 🙂
