What We Did This Week
We visited art, gym and music.
ELA (English Language Arts):
We focused on letters Hh and Ff this week.We are working on answering questions about our read aloud stories including questions about the characters, setting, problem, solution and discussing the roles of an illustrator and author. We studied syllables of words (parts) and isolating the first sound of a word.
We rotated through Daily 5 and students met with me in small literacy groups. Students are beginning to bring home practice bags (be on the look out).
Writing:
We continue to write and draw in our journals remembering that a good story includes a character and setting. We are also working on adding details to our pictures. Students are taking turns sharing their stories on the classroom whiteboard.
Math:
Math lessons included counting on, the concept of zero, working with numbers 0-5, and attributes of two related objects. We also are starting to form numerals 1-10. We included some Halloween pumpkin sorting and number practice.
Science:
We continue to discuss fall and the changes we are observing in the season.
Social Studies:
We worked on what our bodies look like when we are showing good listening skills. We talked about what to do if you are unsure of classroom directions.
We will be having a classroom Halloween Party on Thursday, October 31st. Kindergarten and Y5 students are allowed to wear their costume to school. We will parade the hallway (parents are welcome to stay and watch the parade at school entry time) and then we will have a short classroom party afterwards. Costumes get taken off after the party and put in student’s backpacks. A sign-up genius will be coming out soon for food donations and volunteers. We will also being asking for a couple dollars to help cover the cost of the crafts.
Have a great weekend!
