WOW, What a week!

We have been extremely busy this week!  Monday we celebrated Veteran's Day by reading Pepper's Purple Heart and making a marble painting project.  We say a BIG THANK YOU to all that have served our country!

In math, we reviewed numbers to 10, shapes including paralellogram, hexagon, and trapezoid, and addition and subtraction stories.

In reading we learned about the letters Bb and Tt.  We blended words with the -ot family.  For reading comprehension we learned about asking QUESTIONS.  We read a few great books.

Ask the students to sing their "I Wonder" song for you.  I encourage you to read with your child and ask questions.  See if you child can recognize the question word-Who, What, When, Where, Why???

 

We continued talking about friendship and how to be a good friend.  We also talked about how to solve problems.  We talked about small vs. BIG problems.  Small problems are ones kids can tackle on their own.  They can STOP, THINK, and FIX IT.  Examples of small problems are a missing glue stick, marker, broken pencil, papercut on my finger, completed work.  Big problems are ones where kids need help from an adult.  They need to STOP, TALK IT OUT, and FIX IT.  Examples of big problems are bullying, hurting, teasing, etc.

Introducing Reid Gunderson and Anna Hickey.  They are SCSU students in their first practicum experience.  They have been helping every afternoon.  They will be here through November.
