Thank you! 

Bag of Books

Your child is bringing home a Bag of Books. They have worked very hard to make these books! You can read them over the weekend. Please send them back to school on Monday. We will send all the books home at the end of First Quarter (October 18th). 

5 Senses Signs of Fall Hunt

We used our 5 senses to "hunt down" signs that Fall is here. We saw squirrels hunting acorns and birds flying south. We also saw many colorful leaves leaves that had fell to the ground. We made a book about the signs of Fall. 

Apple Investigations

The Kindergartners need an apple for their PM Kindergarten class. They are going to do some really fun things with their apples! Mrs. Robert's class is doing their apple activities on Wednesday. Mrs. Fink's class is doing their apple activities on Thursday. 

5 Senses Book

We are writing a 5 Senses book. Today, we wrote about what we can taste and what we can see. We also practiced reading our book to our partners. We practiced pointing to the words as we read. At home, we can practice pointing to the words as we read. 

Our Authors

The students have been making their own books. They love to read the books they make. Each student has a bag they can put their books in. Sometimes, our students choose to keep books in their bag, so they can read them later. 

We are Writers!!!

We are learning to write SENTENCES!!! We talk about all the wonderful things that good writers do! Writers always think before they write! When writers write words they STRETCH the sounds to help them write words. Mrs. Roberts made some amazing signs that help us when we write! Maybe these signs can help you write with your student at home. 

5 Senses

We used our 5 Senses to explore an orange. We smelled the oranges. They smelled sweet. We looked at the oranges. We saw triangles. We squeezed our oranges and heard some funny sounds. We tasted our oranges and they tasted sweet and spicy. We touched our oranges. They felt squishy. We wrote down our observations with words and pictures, just like real Scientists do!! 

We had so much fun exploring our senses! 

Our Cardinal Red Colors

We are wearing our Cardinal Red today!!!

Wear Cardinal Red for Early Release Tomorrow

Tomorrow, students will be dismissed to go home at 1:40 pm. Does your student know how they are getting home? 

Chicka Chicka Boom

On Wednesday, we talked about uppercase and lowercase letters. We sorted some foam letters into two piles; uppercase and lowercase letters. We then looked around the room to see if we could find upper and lowercase letters. We wrote them on our paper. We made it into a book. We LOVE making books. 

Vowels and Consonants

Today we talked about vowels (a,e,I,o,u) and consonants. We watched a great video on You Tube called, Leap Frog Talking Words Factory's Vowels the "Sticky" Letters. We sang about our vowels and then found all of the consonants. Boy, there were a lot of consonants! Together, we made a chart.

We love Sharing Chair Time!

Learning Centers

We are practicing working in Learning Stations. All children will get to do all of the learning centers. In the Listening Center, we listen to books on the iPad. In the Reading Center, we color and cut out books that go along with our colors. In the Review Center, we make shapes out of play dough. In the Writing Center we create small books with pictures and words. The other center is a Teacher Center. In this center, I meet with a small group of students. We work on writing letters and letter sounds. 

We really like working in our centers!

We found the color yellow as we were walking down the halls. The color yellow makes us happy!
