WALKATHON: Tomorrow is the walkathon! Kids are encouraged to wear spirit wear tomorrow to school. If you are participating in the walkathon, please meet us on the sand field. We will be lined up in front of the #5. Remember that in order for your child to participate, they must have an adult present and you must have registered.
Auction Item: During the walkathon, there is a silent auction. Up for bid by me is an afternoon of snowflakes, hot cocoa and gingerbread house building. Bid on this item to spend the afternoon with me!
Literacy: This week we have been practicing visualizing. The students are learning to pay attention to the little movie that plays in their mind when they are reading. This helps them makes connections with the literature and deepens their understanding.
In writer's workshop, we are learning how to sound out words and also how to revise and add more detail to our writing.
We have just finished all of our "Frog Jump" capital letters in handwriting. It has been challenging for the kids to remember to start their letters at the top but today we listened to a fun song that will help them remember!
Math: Counting has been the focus this week. We are focusing on learning to count in a variety of ways. We also revisited an earlier concept of "longer than" and "shorter than".
Apples: Please remember to send in one peeled and chopped (small pieces please) apple on Friday. We will be making our apple sauce today. In class today we read the story of Johnny Appleseed. I was surprised to find out no one knew about this tall tale character from our country's history! Did you know that his birthday is tomorrow? Sept. 26th!
Field Trip: Thank you for everyone who sent in their field trip forms. I appreciate the promptness. I am still looking for volunteers to go on the trip with us. I will draw names out of the hat on Friday so if you want to go, please email me before then.
Conferences: If you haven't had a chance to sign up for conferences please do so soon. See a previous blog post for the sign up link.
Have a great week!
~Mrs. Perry
Are the kids who are participating in the walkathon staying at school, and we should meet them there? Or are they being sent home first and then we all go together?
