We are still learning about the alphabet and yesterday we made a group alphabet chart on the SmartBoard. Today, the students are going to work in groups to create a BIG alphabet chart on their own by cutting pictures out of magazines. These will be displayed in the hall for parents and family to see during our Open House on Thursday. We are all still enjoying the creative ABC charts that are being sent back to school!
In Math, we started our Couting books where the students have to color a given number of blocks and draw that number of pictures on that page as well. Tomorrow, we will play a math game called "Grab and Count" where the students will grab a handful of connecting cubes, count them, and record the number.
Writing is going extremely well! Yesterday, we made a list of "Ideas for Writing" and the students picked a topic off of the list and wrote a story about it. The topics we listed were things we all new a lot about like school, sports, family, etc. The students have writing folders at school so if you are wondering why you have not seen any of their stories it is because they are being stored in their writing folders so I and the students can watch all the progress they are making! I will send their writings home at the end of every quarter.
Don't forget our Open House is Thursday (tomorrow!) from 6-7 and there will be no school on Friday! I have also decided to send home the final note about our Apple Unit supplies TOMORROW. I waited a while to send them home because I was concerned about recieving apples to early and them going bad before our unit even began. I hope this doesn't through anybody off too bad. You will see the note tomorrow and can send the supplies on Monday. Thank you again sooo much for yo
Have a wonderful day!
