Odds and Ends:
-You will see at the top I have added in a 'parent resources' tab for you all. There is math and language websites/apps there that may help you in getting in that extra practice at home.
-Winter is here! Please ensure you are sending your kiddos with everything that they need to play out in the cold.
Language: This week we started looking at writing and reading words that word with the short a vowel. We did a number of Halloween themed journal entries this week practicing using our color words. We also had a visit from Mrs. Rachel and see will be back every Friday for the next few weeks to teach our class the Mind Up curriculum. We looked about our guard dog(amygdala) and wise owl(pre frontal cortex) that live in our brain and what happens to them when we get mad. We looked how to calm our guard dog by smelling the flowers and blowing out the candles.
Math: This week in math we continued practicing working through math centers. This week they were Halloween themed which the kids loved!
Social: We introduced the concept of rights and responsibilities to the students. We looked through our big book and had many discussion on the rights we have and responsibilities that come with it. This theme fit right in with the hands off conversation we continue to have in grade one. We also started talking about the importance of Remembrance day. We discussed why we wear poppies and finished our week by starting our Remembrance day craft.
Science: Color mixing fun! The students had many opportunities to mix the primary colors together. They had to try to match a color that I created. It was messy but the children absolutely loved it! We will be finishing up this color unit hopefully this week.
