Frog Class News

The children are doing a great job entering the building and they do not need their bus tags any more. 

Language Arts:

We have practiced the sight word, he, this week. The children found it in the book, Little Brother by Joy Cowley. They also did a search paper, stamped it in play dough, and did a "magic" painting to reveal the word. We have practiced the letters, D & P, in our handwriting books, on the iPads, and with wiki sticks.

Readers" Workshop has officially started and the children got their own book bins. They have been really enjoying Writers' Workshop and are keeping their wonderful stories in their own folders. 

Math:

We have enjoyed playing dice games. The children are learning how to recognize how many dots there are without counting. We have also tried some counting on. The class continues to explore shapes. 

Science:

Our temperature graph provides us with some good information about temperature changes as the season changes. The weather graph, in their calendar binders, kept track of sunny and cloudy days for our days in school during the month of September.
