This past week,Our topic this week was Fall again.
Students read fall books and even helped figured out some leaf names. Students also got the opportunity to play in some pumpkins--feel, smell, and touch them!
Students also were pulled out to do their PALS assessment. Students are doing well with this and we will be discussing the results with you during conferences in November! See below for the parent note on PALS if you would like more info on PALS.
The letter of the week was Dd. We learned the sign language for a letter, the literacy link sound symbols, the letter sound, and looking at and writing it in both capital letters and lower case letters. Click here to view the many ways we learn the letter of the week!
Each week we watch letter videos from "Have Fun Teaching" and the students are really picking up the names of letters, formations, and the sounds of letters. Check out these videos with you child! Click HERE.
The Tuesday project of letter of the week is to decorate a letter with something that starts with the letter. This week we decorated the letter D with dots. On Thursday, our letter of the week project was to read a page from our alphabet book, D is for Duck.
Please visit the whole website (4k, drop down menu, Gallery) to see your child's first day photo as well as photos from through out the week. If you would like the first day photo, please email me and I can send you the digital copy.
As mentioned for the past few weeks, we would like to have a family and friends board in our room. That way the space is as much of the students' as it is of mine (I have my family photos, they should too!) Please send a family photo that can stay up in the classroom all year long. When photos come in, the students will take some time to tell the rest of their class about their family. Can't wait to see the photos and hear about the families!
PALS will be begin on October 14 and end on October 30. See the information below about PALS.
Important Notes:
- Dress for the weather. Please send your child dressed for the weather as we go outside as long as it is not raining or below 0*(students are more than welcome to bring layers daily or to leave in their lockers) It may also be time to change out the change of clothes to make sure they are weather appropriate. If you send a new change of clothes, we will send the warm weather clothes in their backpacks.
- Folders. Please be checking your child's daily folder each night. We put notes on the notebook pages in their folders as well as any notes we may have for you. Artwork is also sent home this way. As we start letter of the week, we will also start sending home homework to help reinforce the letter concept and identification. Please work on this with you child to help the students make the connection between home and school.
- Also, Please check the student's Wednesday Folders. Please try to take info out and return the folder and any forms/info/payments in those folders a day or two after receiving.
- Literacy Bags come home every three weeks. Students will have a week to complete the project inside and can then return the bag with completed sheets in it on TUESDAYS.
- Library Books come every week. We go to library on Monday and student have the opportunity to check out a book and keep it for a week. It can be kept in their back packs or at home, but please remember to bring it on Mondays.
