Sorry for the lateness of this post. I had an out of town family event to attend this weekend.
We had another busy week of learning. We finished up our All About Me and our Five Senses units in Social Studies and Science. The children made books for both of these lessons that will be coming home next week.
Since Friday was the first day of Fall we will begin our Fall unit next week. First the students will learn about Johnny Appleseed. Monday is his birthday and we will be doing a lot of fun activities around the apple. We also have two birthdays this coming week.
Aside from celebrating birthdays we began a new lesson in Language and have a new sight word to learn. We now have three words, I, like and the, that we will be reviewing. You should have received your child first book that has words in it. This is a decodable book and you will start seeing both a Pre-decodable (pictures only) and a decodable book (with words) come home each week. The decodable books have our new sight words in them. The words are introduce in an order in which the student can begin making sentences with them. We are also still working on our sight word flash cards. I am hoping that these will be finished by the end of the week. I will then put them together and send them home for you to use to help your child review.
October is a busy month and I have many activities planned for the students. We also have several celebrations that we will observe as a school. You should have received a print out of all the celebrations for the rest of the year. If you have any questions about any of these please feel free to ask.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Keever
