- Started our first grade word work which you will see coming home almost weekly. This helps us practice our phonics to strengthen both reading and spelling!
- Learned about bats
- Discovered dirty hands create orange mold on bread...ask your child why
- Worked on teen numbers
- Field trip to Coppal House Farm corn maze
- STEAM challenge: Pumpkin towers. Build a tower strong enough to hold a small pumpkin using only base ten and base hundred blocks! So fun and creative as always!
- Problems and solutions
- Thank you Mr. Craig for visiting us and sharing a story! Big thank you to all of our field trip volunteers! You made taking 16 six and seven year olds into a corn maze easy! (I didn't know it was possible :))
Some things to ask your child:
- Ask your child to teach you our new math song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uedvwH6Ay18&t=34s&disable_polymer=true
- What did you learn about bats?
- How was the field trip? What was your favorite part? Who's Oreo?
- Quiz them on teen numbers. (ex. 10+___=18; 10+___=13)
- What are you writing about for your small moment story?
- Who is the M person in the Magic Tree House books?
- Brainstorm a problem and ask your child if they can think of a solution i.e. I'm hungry, how can I solve that problem? I can't find my ___ what should I do? VERY useful for building independence!
Important Dates:
- First Grade Fall Festival October 31st: If you would like to volunteer to help us 9am-11am that would be great! Please let me know, I STILL don't have anyone yet! I promise it will be fun and it would make your child's day. I won't work you too hard!
- Early release day November 1st
- Conferences are coming up in a couple weeks, be on the lookout I will be sending home reminders of your scheduled times.
