What a fabulous weekend to end summer!! I hope you all found a way to enjoy it!
We had a great week last week! We wrote with dry erase markers on our desk to practice adding. Then we used shaving cream to write our numbers in and clean off our desks. Check out the pictures to follow this blog and see our fun! We also tasted four different kinds of apples and charted which apple we liked the best. The honey crisp apple won the taste test!
There are still a few students who do not have a change of clothes or a paint smock in their locker. An old t-shirt makes a great paint smock. If we do a painting project those who do not have a paint smock will only be able to use crayons. A change of clothes is important not only for accidents, but also in case of a spill. Thank you!
Our field trip to Mulberry Lane Farms is fast approaching. Please send in your permission slips as soon as possible. We need to know how many chaperones we have so we can plan accordingly. The students will need a disposable lunch and a pillowcase with their name on it to bring their pumpkin home in.
Religion
We are still learning about Creation this week. We will take a look at what God made each day. We will watch a short video about Creation this week.
Math
In math we will be working on writing our numbers correctly and being able to match our numbers to the correct number of items.
Fundations
Fundations is our phonics and handwriting program. We will be learning the u and i this week. So far we have learned: t, b, f, m, and n.
Guided Reading
We are almost ready to begin our guided reading. I have tested all of the students on their letters and sounds. I am happy to report that they are doing very well with these. We will begin taking home a few sight words to practice each week. This will happen either this week or next. Everyone will have a different set of words to practice depending on how well they do. They will also soon begin bringing home a book bag with their guided reading book inside. These will come home with some specific instructions on how to use them.
Science/Social Studies
This week we continue talking about apples. We will be doing a number of activities relating to apples. We will explore the inside of an apple and the seeds, too.
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. rcowart@stedwardk5.org
Enjoy your week!
