Good afternoon! We've had a very busy week! We had Picture Day...it went well! We learned about the season of the apple tree and about Johnny Appleseed! We went on a field trip to Conant's Apple Orchard. Thank you chaperones!! We made our own applesauce back in our classroom. We rewrote a book called Rain Makes Applesauce. We used a book called Six Big Apples for shared reading. We also rewrote a book called A My Name Is Alice. The kids had a choice to bring these three new books home or to keep them in their book boxes for awhile to read here. If you do not see them this weekend, you will see them soon.
We took our Reading NWEA this week. It is a computer standardized test that we take at the beginning and end of each year. The students did a great job answering 42 questions on their chrome books.
We had our first Flex Friday. Ask your child where s/he went and what they did. Our next one will be Friday, October 25.
In Math we are working on addition. We are practicing saying the higher number then counting on instead of counting that higher number out on our fingers and counting on. We are also working on knowing all the different ways to make ten as quickly as we can. We should know these basic facts instantly soon. Any help at home with this would be great.
