Week of October 20

 

Our Resources for the week are: Monday- #1-18 MUSIC and #19-36 P.E., Tuesday- MUSIC and Thursday- #1-18 MEDIA and #19-36 P.E. Tuesday from 5:00-8:00 is Safety Patrol Night at McDonald's. The Patrols receive a percentage of all sales made during that three hour period, so stop by and order lots of food! Thursday is SCHOOL PICTURE DAY. Friday is a Teacher Planning Day, so there is NO SCHOOL for Students!! Enjoy the three-day weekend. :)

**Continue to have your child practice writing their first name. We need to see the first letter as an uppercase letter and the remaining letters lowercase. Once that is mastered, begin the same process for the last name.** We still have quite a few students writing their whole name in uppercase letters. Please practice.

MATH

We are continuing to work on 2 standards for comparing- MAFS.K.CC.3.6 Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than or equal to the number of objects in another group and  MAFS.K.CC.3.7 Compare two numbers between 1-10 presented as written numerals. As we begin the 2nd quarter the expectations for counting and number recognition increases. Our focus is counting to 50 (counting by tens also!) and recognizing numbers through 15. Car rides are a great time to practice counting. Try the new video we found for counting!

ELA

(English Language Arts~ Reading and Writing)

The sight words we are focusing on are up, my, so and be. Our book for the week is Bunny Cakes by Rosemary Wells. :) We will review the characters and settingin the book. Then we will discuss all the ingredients the two main characters use to make their cakes and give our opinions for who makes the best cake.  (I have a feeling quite a few students will like the cake Max makes for his Grandma, more than they like Ruby's cake. haha) Tuesday your child will be wearing bunny ears to show that our class participated in Read for the Record. Here is the link to find out more about the organization and a link to listen to the book read in English or Spanish. 
Enjoy the video's below!

SCIENCE

We are excited about our science investigation this week! The students will be practicing their sorting skills by using different properties like size, shape, color and many others. The students will rotate through different stations and learn how to record their work.
