A trip to the library, a hearing and vision screening, and a field trip- that about sums up our week! Whew and what a great one it was.
Centers:
Since we are on a field trip on Friday we only had four days of centers which made for five kids in a group. We didn't use the yellow table this week. Those students were very flexible and blended right in with a different center group this week.
Listening Center:
Harriet's Halloween Candy
Harriett is a dog. This concept of understanding the dog was a she and named Harriet was very hard for many of the students. Great pictures were drawn and even better sentences were written.
Orange Table: Science
Students were read two non-fiction books about owls. They cut and glued their own owl and then did a direct instruction drawing of an owl. The owls are hanging in the window. We hope you will all check them out as you pick up or drop off.
Green Table: Science
The students worked with a parent to make a book about spiders. They first listened to a non fiction book about spiders. They next cut,colored, and pasted their own information book about a spider. You should have found the book in your child's back pack this week.
Red Table: Math
There were lots of things going on at this table. Students did a connect the dot ghost, colored it and brought it home. They also had their foot painted to make a picture of a ghost. It will be in the Friday Folder. Lastly they took a dive into the world of estimation. They estimated how many cotton balls would go into a ghost form. they glued the cotton balls and then counted them with an adult. Those too should be in the back pack.
Letter of the Week:
This week's letter was Jj. Please remind your student that the dot on the lowercase j is just that a dot not a big lollipop.
Library:
Library was canceled on Wednesday so we made up today. Your child's book should be in their back pack. It is still due on Monday. Please make sure all of the books get back on time. I hate to see them just look around because their book wasn't returned.
Homework/Friday Folder:
Homework is still due tomorrow and you will still receive a Friday Folder. The school directory comes home tomorrow in the Friday Folder. Your appointment time for conferences will also come home tomorrow. Please let me know ASAP if that time doesn't work for you.
Your child came home with an orange half sheet about the field trip. School still starts at 8:05am. They need a lunch in a brown paper bag and everything in it needs to be disposable. They should dress in layers and have a sweatshirt that can be tied around their waste. Please send them in tennis shoes as it may be pretty muddy. We will return at 11:30 am!!!! Normal pickup time!
