We had a very busy, short week.
We continued
practicing counting by 5’s and 10’s and printing numbers to 100. Students also
got some experience with their first word problem this week. It was a basic
problem where there was only one answer. Students were encouraged to draw a
picture and write a sentence to answer the word problem. This was practice to
help us understand how to complete an open-ended problem in the future.
Our word family
for this past week was ”ig”. Students continued with writing simple sentences
and were given a picture prompt to help them write as many as they could about
the picture. It was a Fall. I have emailed the Dolch sight words to you, so that you can support your child in learning these words.
We painted pumpkins by mixing red and yellow to create orange, and later in the week, we turned them into Jack-o-lanterns for our beautiful bulletin board.
Students were
quite excited about Halloween and enjoyed seeing a huge pumpkin that one of the
grade three teacher’s dad bought in. It
was over 150 pounds. Wow!
We were very
lucky. Also, thanks to Mrs. Hoye, we had the chance to see all the costumes at
our school. She did a video of all of us. We had some great costumes!
It was great to touch base with you all on Thursday night or Friday morning. Thanks for all your support in helping your child learn and grow.
Happy Halloween! Stay safe and enjoy the special treats!
