September and October was filled with fun and learning! Students met new children and teachers. We focused on routines and expectations, modeled behavior, and social interactions. Students learned new games to play at recess and learned many ways to greet each other and feel great about themselves. They also learned ways to be kind, helpful, citizens.
After discussions, readings and exemplars, students wrote their Hopes and Dreams for the year and are focusing on how to achieve their goals. They also have been having fun reading and writing spooky, fall stories & poems. In Mathematics, students jumped into place value, telling time, counting money, and reviewing patterns and routines. In Science, students are discovering great things about Matter, both with their new Science Specialist, Mrs. Spreen and in class. Students are also getting the “Big Picture” by figuring out where they are in the world in Social Studies.
We are all looking forward to what is ahead! We will be ending the month with “Pumpkin Day” where students will use math skills to measure, estimate, and weigh their pumpkins. They will also learn facts about pumpkins through reading and writing and get the chance to use their imagination to create uniquely decorated pumpkins.
