Personal Update:

I want to thank you all for your understanding as I have been gone from school. My father passed Saturday evening. I will be taking the next week to help my family make plans and be together. Ms. Elhert will be here all week for me. Please remind your students the expectations are the same as if I am there. I know they can be at their best for her! I am planning on keeping the scheduled conferences for Monday and Tuesday, but will need to reschedule the Wednesday appointments. I know the parents planning the Halloween party have an afternoon of fun planned and it will be a good time for the kids.

ELA

We finished our Toy unit this week by finishing the book Llama Llama and

deciding what made playing together more fun.  Llama Llama learned that

sharing is what makes playing together much more fun. 

High Frequency words for this week were no, go, so and we

focused on the letters Oo and Ll. 

Math

We played math games that included counting different groups and

matching the groups of items to both written and spoken numbers. Students

matched one group of images with a number as they practice counting and

keeping track of images in a circle

P2: Self Control

Sometimes when we are angry, we want to yell at a friend that has hurt us. 

But we learned that the problem will be solved faster if we speak calmly to

our friend and find a solution together.

  

Science

This week we have been making observations about how sunshine heats

things up! And we’ve noticed that things stay cooler if they are in the shade!

 

Centers:

We played Halloween Bingo, practiced writing fall words, made 5 Little

Pumpkins crafts, and made number towers.

ELA

We learned a lot about the word “collaboration” this week. We experienced what collaboration looks and sounds like while playing with each other..  And most importantly we discovered that collaboration can make playing together more fun.  We read a new book called “Llama Llama Time to Share” which will help us understand more about how to collaborate by sharing and trading toys.  

High Frequency words for this week were no, go, so and we focused on the letters Oo and Ll. 

Math

We played math games that included counting different groups and matching the groups of items to both written and spoken numbers. Students matched one group of images with a number as they practice counting and keeping track of images in a circle

P2: Know That Your Words and Actions Affect Others

I know that what I say and do can help or hurt someone. When I see a classmate working hard on something, I tell them, “You’re doing a great job!”. My kind words can help encourage them to keep going and make our friendship stronger too!

ELA

We practiced conversation skills this week by talking and listening with

partners and then repeating what our partner said.We also practiced recognizing rhymes and listening for syllables in words. 

Our poems for the week include “Flying Flamingo” to emphasize the /f/

sound and “Digging Dog” to emphasize the letter Dd.  High Frequency

words for this week were is and of.  

Math

We counted and compared groups of images up to 10 and used the

words more, fewer and the same asto describe the comparisons. We played Bingo and practiced matching

groups that have the same number of items but look different.  One

student chose a card with a group of images and all students placed a counter

on their gameboard over a group that had the same number of images.

P2: Bravery

Being brave means being strong even when you are scared.  You can be brave

every day by finding courage to try new things like riding a bike. 

Centers:

In centers we made candy corn people, listened & wrote the missing sound in fall-themed words, cut and glued

the seasons in the correct order, and strung letter beads onto pipe cleaners to

make fall words.

ELA

We had a productive week learning to listen to books on Epic, learning the letter and sounds i, n

and writing in, it, sit, an, man.  Additionally, we counted syllables and sounds and worked on

rhyming.  We also recalled details about the characters and plot of the book I Have a Balloon.  We also practiced listening to our partners about what their favorite toy is and why. 

Finally we finished the week with our first assessment that included writing about the toy we prefer.

Math

We continued practicing making and describing groups that have more, fewer, and the same

number of objects.  We then compared groups and identified groups that have more, less, or the

same number as a given group of images.

P2:  Creativity:  It takes courage to find new ways to do things.  But it makes the world a more unique and

beautiful place. 

Science

Seasonal patterns was what we learned about this week.  We worked in teams and put the seasons

in order and learned how they start over again as each new year begins.
