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.
