Our week...

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and had time to spend with their families!  Did you have a garage sale or go to any garage sales?  At school we are looking forward to our apple day on Wednesday!

Last week was yellow week.  We colored corn to put on our farming wall and on the back of our door.  So far we have tomatoes (for the color red), carrots (for the color orange) and corn (for the color yellow).  The beautiful sun that your child and you helped us make at our back to school night is at the top!

So far we have celebrated 2 birthdays at school!  Happy birthday to Jace and Briana!

Mrs. DiBenedetto came to our class again on Thursday with I-Care Cat to help us learn about helping.  Your child drew a picture of what he or she does to help at home.   The social skills we have learned so far are helping and being patient without interrupting (unless there is an emergency).

In math we started making a math bag.  So far we have 5 counting beans and a ruler inside.  We will be adding more counting beans after we start with the basics of counting forward and backwards from five and putting them on our number line (ruler).  We are building math sense.  We have also been learning about what is the same and different with different pictures from our math book.  We have been doing this together on the smartboard so their isn't a paper to come home at this time for this.

In fundations we have learned the letters, sounds and letter formation for lowercase t,b,f,n,m,i,u,c,o.  Please have your child tell what the names of the lines are that we use on our dry erase boards.

We are excited to start reading groups!  Today we read a book called 'A Park'.  In this book your child found a swing and a see___.  It is something that goes up and down.  During our word work time we also spelled the words 'the' and 'see' using our ketchup bottles.
