Please note that Wednesday, October 14th is a late start. Everything (bells and buses) should run exactly 2 hours behind,
Be sure you are signed up for conferences (most of you are). There is no school on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next week (the 21st, 22nd and 23rd) to accommodate conferences.
Thank you to Lea Walker who has volunteered to be our class parent. Lea is mother of Stevie (as well as 2nd grader Poppy). She will be helping with a variety of things including communication, organizing and being a sounding board for everyone. Please feel free to contact her at leakwalker@gmail.com.
Thank you to the many volunteers who have helped in the classroom and on our field trip last week to Kruger's Farms. This volunteer help has been invaluable. We will be needing volunteers to help us with out auction project (to be announced soon), as well as to help us with centers and math in the classroom.
As the weather grows chillier, be sure your child has a coat at school every day. With the differing temperatures, many students are taking off their coats while out at recess. Be sure to mark your child's coat with their name and Room number (2). If they are found, they will usually make their way back to our classroom.
This Monday and Tuesday afternoon we will be starting "switch". Both days, our students will do some dance with Ms. Leveille (and some extra music in Room 2). Next week students will be doing social studies with Ms. Aksay and science with Ms. Forst.
This week we are working on the complexities of the letter Aa (vowels are, indeed, complex), and beginning to blend letters together to make words -- especially the letters m, a, and t to make words like at, mat, am and the name Tam.
Here are some themes for the week:
Theme Book: Life in an Ocean
Comprehension skill: Compare and Contrast
New words: is, have
Words we know: I, am, the, little, to, a
Letter focus: Aa
Letters we know: m, t, a
Writing: family words, /th/ sound
Math: Tally marks, numbers & number sense
Song: Dinah
