Hi! It's been a great week! Students came home today with Progress Notes and Book Orders. We will be sending home Progress Notes monthly unless we see a need for doing them more often. Please know that we will call or email you if there is something urgent that needs your attention. Please also know that it is okay to get a Partially Meets. Everyone has things that we are working on. With that being said, please take time to check your child's masks this long weekend. We are noticing that many seem to be stretching out or needing to be readjusted. Some students have trouble with them slipping down. Thanks for your help with this! Book Orders are due on Friday, Oct. 16th.
READING AND LANGUAGE ARTS
We started new October journals. We write in them first thing each morning. They are spooky! We are working on sight word recognition because those are words that we can't sound out and we just need to know them. We also rewrote The Meanies.
We had fun reading to PreK today over Zoom breakout rooms. First graders did such an awesome job reading! We are lucky to have so much room in our class spaces that we could spread out to have our own quiet spots. This enabled us to put our best voices on as we read with fluency and expression.
We filled out adoption papers for animals and were so excited to see that everyone was granted adoption papers! We now are proud owners of our own pet. In order to get ownership we had to promise to read to it. :)
MATH
We are working with addition (especially combinations of ten), number stories (figuring out how the story is changing...getting bigger or smaller) and using a hundred grid to count by tens and ones. We learned how to play Kahoot on our chrome books. It's a whole class game played on computers and with a projector. Today we did addition. We will definitely be playing this a lot this year. The kids loved it!
SCIENCE
We have been talking a lot about erosion. We went looking for erosion today down by the Penobscot River. We saw lots of changes to the land made by water and wind. We also talked about the Penobscot River, currents, the Atlantic Ocean and the Veazie Dam that was once there. It was beautiful down there. We had so much fun. If you are looking for something to do this weekend, head on down and enjoy the view. Your child will thank you!!
THANK YOU
We would like to give the Grant's family a huge thank you for buying us more Whirly-gigs. Our first set was loved so much that many started breaking. This donation came at the perfect time. We LOVE them...especially on field days.
HAPPY LONG WEEKEND!
