Week of September 1st

We have finished our 2nd week of school and we are starting to get to know each other a little better.  We have started following our regular schedule for the most part.  We began math, writer's workshop and reader's workshop along with our "All About Me/Community" unit.  In reader's and writer's workshop we are in the beginning stages of getting used to routines and what it means to read and write.  I have begun assessments in reading so that I can begin reading groups in a few weeks.

In math we are working on the first unit which focuses on numbers all around us.  We made a popsicle graph of our favorite flavor of a twin pop and counted by 2s to see what the total number of popsicle sticks were in each row and total.  We have also been practicing making tally marks and counting by 5s.

In our "All About Me/Community" unit, we are beginning to make butterflies that will tell information about each of us.  When they are finished, they will hang in our rooms.  Next week we will begin making collages on ipads to tell about ourselves.

Please remember to return your student information sheets and health forms to the front office.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend,
Nancy
