Look What’s Happening in our Classroom:

All about our class: This week we continued to talk about trees. We focused on animals that live in trees. We also spent time getting ready for Halloween! We created Fall stew during math, we also created an owl and a squirrel as our crafts this week. During Haggerty we spent time blending and segmenting words. In addition our focus sounds were n, b, and f. We read the stories: Room on a Broom, and Good Night Owl. We focused on counting sets this week. Some of our groups created collections to represent different numbers. We also practiced counting on and back from a stopped position. During Fundations we focused on learning the key picture and sound for the letter G. We also practiced making letter G with our wooden pieces, and made a dot art picture of letter G. Ask your child about our Fall stew! . We followed a recipe to ensure it was just right! Highlights included our pumpkin science and our Halloween party and parade!

Help From Parents

At home try practicing looking for words when you are out walking or driving. Children learn how to read environmental print such as Burger King, Target, Stop, and Dairy Queen quickly! We are exposed to environmental print all the time. Once you ask them what word they “read,” talk about the first letter or sound of the word. Have fun!
