On Friday, our class read the reader's theater "The Hare and the Tortoise" to kindergarten classes.

  • In reading, we wrapped up Unit 1 in Wonders, and began Unit 2: My Community. The kids were word detectives and used their magnifying glasses to fins words with blends and the suffix -s. We learned the new HFWords: again, help, new, there, use
  • In phonics, we continue to work with blends and just learned the new suffix -ed. The suffix -ed can make 3 sounds:
    • d as in played
    • t as in walked
    • ed as in printed
  • For math this week we used doubles facts to solve doubles +1 and doubles +2. We also drew open number lines to help us add two numbers. 
  • In our writing journals we wrote about which color apple is our favorite and why. We added details to our topic sentences about apples. Continue to practice writing at home with neat handwriting, capitals, and periods. 
  • If you have any thin wire hangers to donate, please send them in by Friday, October 26th for a project we are doing in the innovation room. The wire hangers usually come with dry cleaning clothes and are easy to bend. Thank you for your help!
  • Coming up:
    • 10/24- ALPL Field Trip
    • 10/29- No School
    • 10/31- Halloween Parade 9:00 AM. Please send kids to school wearing their costumes with a change of clothes underneath or in their book bags. Masks should be kept in book bags until they arrive at school. Please do not send any toy weapons or props larger than your child! thank you :) We will parade and party, and then change out of our costumes before recess & lunch.
