Next week, we will be learning about Weather. We will be doing fun activities with the books Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and It Looked Like Spilled Milk. In writing, we will be doing some writing activities that help us develop word choice skills and sentence fluency. We will also continue to practice stretching out the sounds in words to write them. In math, we will continue working with teen numbers and we will play Grab and Count 2 where the students will take two handfuls of connecting cubes and add them together. We have also started Rocket Math! In Rocket Math, students must first copy 24 numbers correctly in a minute. This helps students develop fluency in their number writing. Once the students master this skill, they will move on to addition!
Today, the students filled up their first Tiger Token Chart! They earn Tiger Tokens from special area teachers and when other teachers give them a compliment. To fill up the chart, the kiddos must earn 100 Tiger Tokens!!! That's a lot! So needless to say, this is a HUGE achievement! To celebrate, we are going to have a Pajama Party Friday, October 17th. Send your kiddos to school in their jammies and in the afternoon we are going to pop popcorn and enjoy a movie. We are all very excited! Make sure to tell your child great job for all their hard work!
Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm!
