October 23- 27

Happy Friday! We had a wonderful week again this week. We had a fire drill this week and they did amazing! Make sure if you have no signed the consent form for Tuesday that you log onto Power School and do that!

LA: We talked lots this week about good fit books, we used the acronym "I Pick"

I choose
Purpose
Interest
Comprehend
Know

We also talked about what to do if we do not know how to spell a word during writing time. We worked on reading and answering questions about Halloween themed sentences. We finished looking at the individual sounds (there is a phonics book in their kanga pouch you do not need to send it back). Next week we will begin looking more into the short vowel sounds.

Math: Still working on our 1-20 knowledge we have been talking lots about odd and even numbers. We also practiced working with these numbers by working through our math centers. The students are getting much better at doing their 'jobs' during center time and transitioning with ease between centers.

Science: We had our Fall quiz earlier in the week and finished that topic up. We switched back to looking at creating color. Many of the kiddos had a hard time identifying color words again so we spent some more time on that. We also looked at primary and secondary colors. We talked about mixing colors and next week we will get to do it ourselves. We used color paddles to look at mixing colors too and learned a fun song to remember the primary colors.

Social: We continued to talk about our groups by looking at how some of our groups fit into other groups we are part of. For example their family and our school are all part of the community of Leduc. This was an amazing realization to them.

Keep a look out this weekend I will be posting a page with their Raz-Kids passwords as well as some apps/ websites you guys could work with at home. Many of you stressed to me how difficult it is to get them to do work at home. Perhaps some of these apps and games could help ease that for you.
