The last week of September......Really????


Where did the first month of school go?  Can you believe it?  The class is doing a great job getting into the routine of the day.  We also concluded our first reading and writing unit.  Friday morning we had our “Small Moments Writing Celebration.”  We visited Miss Gizelbach’s classroom and shared our reading with our Kindergarten friends.  Below are a few pictures of us reading our own writing.  We are authors!!!!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In math we also finished our first unit.  The next unit we will be introduced to skip counting by 2s, solving number stories, addition and subtraction facts.  Getting our basics in math will strengthen our foundation on which to build from.

Handwriting through the alphabet is still continuing into next week.  This is a skill that will be ongoing throughout the year.  The biggest bad habit that we must focus on breaking is where the letters begin formation.  Please remind your child that letters (and numbers too) NEVER start from the bottom.

Coming attractions:

October 19th, you will be able to sign up online for your child’s November parent teacher conference.  More instructions will be coming home soon.

SAVE THE DATE:  Planet Day, Dec. 4th.

Next week:  Bats, short sound of o, informational writing (how tos), and reading strategies.
