Last week we started our Social Studies Unit on Celebrations and Traditions. The first celebration we talked about was Birthdays. Each student wrote about how they celebrate their birthday and any traditions they may have related to their birthday. Each child got to share their writing with the class.
The students also interviewed a new friend in the class. They will be drawing a portrait of that friend and presenting what they have learned about their friend to the class.
In math we have been sorting objects into groups and having other students guess what our sorting
rules are. The students really enjoyed participating in these hands-on activities.
Last week I sent home a list of iPad Apps which are fun way for your child to learn and consolidate their skills is math and language. If you did not receive a paper copy please send me a note and I will send another one home,
We have been spending a lot of time creating a safe, secure and positive learning environment. We have been reading books about kindness and respect. On Friday we created a Kindness Quilt on our bulletin board. All of the children wrote about an 'an act of kindness'. The students will be encouraged to add to the quilt over the next couple of weeks.
Scholastic book order forms will be coming home this week. All orders are due on Monday September 28th.
