Happy Wednesday!

Today we began the day with morning circle time led by Makaela and healthy snacks.
For our Journal writing today, students copied the following: "On Halloween I will be a __________."
In Language Arts we focused on beginning sounds. Students cut and paste the beginning matching sounds. Next we worked on a graph, using colorful fish crackers. Here are some points about teaching children to graph:

Graphs make counting and comparing meaningful

Graphs provide opportunities to bring numbers, letters, letter sounds and other literacy skills to the children's attention

Graphing activities in the early grades are generally limited to real and pictorial graphs

In the afternoon we finished our silly spiders, participated in reading buddies and had centers.
Today students attended Drama, French and Gym classes.
Have a great evening!

*In my last email, I mentioned that you could send a trick or treat bucket on Friday. I was just told that Honor will be giving a bucket for each student on Friday as her give-away birthday treat.

Great Tuesday!

We had a fun day today!
In the morning we had our calendar routine led by Gabriella and healthy snacks.
In Language Arts we sang our phonics song and completed a couple of pages focusing on reading and writing. Students participated in reading groups. In Math we also completed a couple of pages focusing on counting and number recognition. Students used manipulatives to help them counting in groups. In our UOI (this week we are doing Halloween/Harvest activities) we are making silly spiders. Today we painted paper plates, tomorrow we will finish gluing the legs and eyes.
Students today attended French and Gym classes.
Have a great evening everyone!

Happy Monday!

Today we began the day with morning circle time led by Layla and healthy snacks.
In Language we met our new animal friend of the week: Mickey Monkey. We then made a list of familiar words that begin with M and sang our phonics song and completed a page of our ABeka Writing with Phonics workbook. Students practiced tracing and writing upper and lower case M.
After that we made friendly monsters. Students had so much fun doing a lot of cutting (great for hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills).
In the afternoon we read the book "Go Away Big Green Monster!" and played Math games.
Students attended Drama, French and Gym classes today.
Have a great evening everyone and remember to vote! :)
