Hello Parents and Families!
It is hard to believe that we are more than halfway through September. The beginning of the year has already flown by and students have settled into classroom routines. We are working on what it looks like to work independently and how we can ask for help if we do not know the answer to something or need more support in an area. We have a lot coming up in the next month so please make sure to read our bi-weekly newsletters and look at the upcoming dates and announcements on our website.
Kindly,
Lauren and Valerie
Classroom Learning and Happenings
Literacy
Literacy
In Literacy, we are exploring the theme “What Makes Us Special?” through the books we read and the stories we create. Students are discovering how characters’ unique qualities, experiences, and perspectives make them special. We’ve also introduced independent literacy centers and shifted our writing focus from opinion to narrative writing, where students develop engaging characters and settings as they bring their own stories to life.
Math
Math
We have wrapped up our first unit in math and are moving on to unit 2. In this unit we will be talking about various ways objects can be organized (grouping things by category) and counting and cardinality. Some of the vocabulary words you may hear are; more, fewer, less, and same. We are continuing counting the number of days we have been in school by 1's, 5's and 10's.
