This week, I'd like to share with you some classroom highlights...
K4 - Students enjoyed sorting apples by color this week. They were each able to sample 3 types of apples, and then graphed the kinds that they liked the best.
Additionally, children used apples to make patterns, and wrote a "spin off" class book after reading
Dr. Seuss's "Ten Apples On Top." K4 students learned the word
"apple" begins with the letter A
K5 - The children discussed fire safety, which included a visit from the St. Francis
Fire Department. Also, they have been talking and learning about the signs of
Fall. In math they are learning about patterns and shapes. K5 students are enjoying
writers workshop and jumping into the Daily 5, which they are doing a great
job in!
Grade 1 - This week, first graders have been
focusing on short /i/ word families, along with identifying cause and effect
while reading. They are also continuing to work on handwriting, small
moment stories and learning about living and non-living things.
Grade 2 - Second graders have settled in nicely to the Daily 5 and into writer's workshop. They are continuing to learn more about PBIS, and have earned many leaves to fill up our school tree!
Grade 3 -
In math, students are just
starting a new chapter on addition and subtraction. They will also be working on number stories. In writing, third graders are nearing the end of their personal narrative and working on revision, by
adding in author's craft and elaboration. In reading, children are working on
connecting characters, reading with expression and adjusting rate,
increasing our vocab by understanding idioms, and engaging in collaborative
conversations about poems.
I hope that these classroom highlights provided you with an opportunity to learn more about what is happening in your child/s classroom, as well as what is happening across the school!
