Some things we did this week: 
  • Learned to play Bunny Hop and Penny-Dice in math
  • Researched loon facts
  • Create our own ending to Mo Willem's Pigeon Wants a Puppy and learned how to draw Pigeon
  • Wrote a class book "Do Unto Loons" in response to reading Do Unto Otters
  • Practiced counting strategies (1's, 2's, 5's, 10's)
  • Began "Book Shopping" in our classroom library
  • Attempted our first STEM challenge (we had to find a way to fit a group of blocks all onto one index card with a partner)
Some things to ask your child about:
  • Who is your reading elbow partner?
  • How long did you read for today? (We are working up to our goal of 30 minutes!)
  • Which Mo Willem's book is your favorite? 
  • What are magic listening beans?
  • What was your job this week?
  • Tell me about the LEGO house. 
  • How do you play Bunny Hop?
  • What is flashlight Friday?
Important Dates:
  • Thursday Picture Day
  • Thursday 1st grade curriculum night 6:30. Hope to see you there!
  • Wednesday, September 27, EARLY RELEASE at 12:50
We need your help:
  • Please continue to look for monarch caterpillars for our class and any STEM materials to allow us to build and create together. 
    • Newspaper
    • Paper towel rolls
    • Paper plates
    • Any half used boxes of craft supplies
    • We can get creative with just about anything! 
  • We are in need of plastic spoons for snack in case spoons are forgotten at home! 
  • The first grade team is working on dramatic play boxes. The loons will be making a "post office" box and a "cooking/baking" box. We would appreciate any donations to help fill these boxes with things to help us explore these different jobs! 
Room Parent?
  • We are looking for a room parent to help with things like putting together a class contact list and organizing donations/volunteers for special events
  • If you are interested please let me know and I can get you more information!
