Mrs. Melissa's Bunch

Sorry for the late post! We had a fun last week where we read the story “David Goes to School” and talked lots about appropriate classroom and school behavior. We worked on our Core words “Yes and No” thanks to our weekly story! For Math we finished up our Counting unit! The kids did a great job counting bears for the school bus and robot parts to see how many robots we could make. The kids also had fun counting with blocks, especially when we saw who could stack the most! Our letter this week was letter B! The kids did a great job engaging with our writing materials and practicing our letter B words. We talked lots about healthy food that we like to eat, for our scholastic news article this week! Lastly, we had lots of outside time this week thanks to all the beautiful weather!

Happy Monday everyone! As we near the final days of September we will complete our Math unit about counting up to 20, and identifying how many. Our story this week is our final back to school story about a Boy named David! He is often being told the word no, and can be a little silly! I know the kids will love the brightly illustrated story “David Goes to School”. After our story we have great conversations about what story we read, who the story was about, and where the story took place. Our Scholastic News article this week is all about Healthy things we like to eat, so we will have some extra Core practice with our “I want” words. Lastly, Our writing theme this week is letter B! We will practice some Letter B vocabulary words, but also put our handwriting skills to use! I hope everyone has a safe and fun week. I know we definitely will be having a Ball this week! 🙂

I cant believe we are nearing the end of September! The weather is really telling us that its time for some fun fall activities. This week the kids and I had a blast reading our story “Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn”! We had lots of talks about the Fall season change that we see here in Michigan. We continued to practice our counting skills by counting how many bears needed to be taken to school on the bus, along with how many robot pieces we need to make robots! We started our letter and handwriting weekly lessons. This weeks letter focus was the letter A. Below are some pictures from this week! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend 🙂

Happy Monday! As we prepare for the week of the 20th I want to remind everyone that Fall starts on the 22nd! So this week we will be talking lots about Fall! Our story this week is called Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn! It is a beautiful story with lots of brightly colored pages that show the change from Summer to Fall. We will continue to work on our counting and number identification this week with our number books and counting bears! For our Social Studies topic we will be talking about our body and our feelings. Excited for our week of learning and growing!

This past week was a fun and fast week! Our class had so much fun with our weekly story called The Bad Apple, A Tale of Friendship. This book reminded us on how to be nice to our friends, and how Happy our friends can make us feel. We practice handling books and reading through pictures. We continued to work on our counting with our bears and robots! We have started working through identification of our numbers and practicing our handwriting with our numbers books. Take a look at some of the pictures from this week!

As we prepare for our first full week of school I want to remind everyone that Wednesday is a late start day, with school starting at 9:25 rather than 8:25. Busses will be picking up and hour later on Wednesday morning! Also Friday is a half day, so Students will be dismissed at 11:30.

This week we will continue to work on our WH questions for reading. Our Story this week is The Bad Apple, A tale of Friendship. Its a great story about making friends and being kind to others! For math we will continue to work on our counting. This week we will use our ten frame to count up to 10 and 20. Our social studies topic this week is all about our bodies and how we can use them at school to put things away! Our Scholastic news article for the week has some great information on ways to help clean up.

Just like that week two is done! We had a wonderful week filled with lots of fun activities. For reading this week we focused on WH questions, like What story did we read? and Who is the story about! Our Story this week was Pete the Cat, Rocking in my School Shoes. The kids loved rocking through our school days in our school shoes! For Math we talked more about counting. We worked on counting in a ten frame, with teddy bear counters. The students enjoyed all our activities this week. Below you will see a picture of our book for the week, and our daily math materials for counting!

Wow I cant believe how fast the first week of school went! We had a great week getting used to our new classroom routine, we welcomed some new students into the room, and we had lots of fun learning and growing together. We read our weekly story called “Our Class is a Family” and talked about how to be nice to our friends and create a classroom community. For math our focus is counting this month so we explored our counting manipulatives, and counted how tall our building blocks were! Lastly we focused on Labor day, and talked a lot about our community of workers. We had a fantastic first week and are looking forward to next week!

Has your child returned to the U.S. after traveling internationally in the last 7 days?
If the answer is Yes, the child must stay home to quarantine for 7 days from the date that they returned to the U.S.  Then on the seventh day, the child must get a COVID PCR test and have a negative test result before returning to school.

Today’s Live Virtual Meeting, for my friends who missed. Great work today friends!
