We read some “Fall” books to start the Seasons Unit in Science. While outside for Physical Education we noticed the fall changes on the field and Mrs. Ghertsos took us on a Leaf Hunt.
In Math, we continued extending AB, ABC, and ABCD patterns.
We are also learning how to print numbers correctly. I
noticed that most of my students are printing their numbers
incorrectly/backwards, even with the number printing homework being done last
week. I am reminding students to use tools in the class to help prevent these
reversals (number lines, hundred chart, name plates, etc.). Please do the same
at home when doing the homework.
I have sent home a poem, entitled, “Alphabet Jive”. Please
keep this at home and practice when you have some time. This will aid in
student’s letter/sound recognition and daily writing at school. I am
encouraging students to write all the sounds that they hear in each word that
they want to use in their writing. It is also very important for students to
use both lines when printing letters and to have all letters sit on the X line.
Some students are having trouble staying on the lines and creating spaces
between their words. When completing homework printing pages and sentence
writing, please remind students of expectations. This will then become more
automatic at school.
We enjoyed our Terry Fox run and special treat of juice
and oranges.
