September 24

Frog Class News


Readers' Workshop: We continue to practice good habits while we read. If something doesn't make sense we reread and use the picture to help us. We are also learning about partner reading.


Writers' Workshop: The children are writing lots of stories through pictures. We have begun to label pictures. They are starting to write the sounds they hear. 


Math Workshop: We continue to work in our calendar binders and the children are becoming more confident. We have practiced dice games and are learning to recognize the number arrangements without counting. Sparkle is a favorite math game, it requires paying attention as well as counting.


Literacy: Our second sight word was, he. We read it in a big book, searched for it on a paper, stamped it into play dough and onto paper. It was fun. Our phonics sounds were (d) and (t). The children got their handwriting books and we wrote uppercase F&E. They also practiced these letters on the iPad and with wood pieces.


Some of your children are familiar with GoNoodle.com. We use it a lot for our movement breaks, they love it, and it's free!

Great Beginning

The children and I have had a  great time getting to know each other. They are learning the routine and why rules are important. Next week, you will receive a copy of our class rules. We have to finish discussing them and why rules are important. I told them the most important reason is safety, I have to keep them all safe.

They are also exploring the room and doing some really fun art projects. Thank you to all of you who came to curriculum night, I hope you enjoyed all the art work.We are learning about the structure of Readers' Workshop, Writers' Workshop, and Math Workshop, and having fun going to Encore Classes.
