In Language Arts, we are starting to write sentences! We discussed using colors to describe things. Looking at a picture of many colorful birds, they chose their favorite and wrote, "I like the _____ bird." They are stating to learn that a sentence begins with a capital letter and ends in a period. (They mistakenly call it a pyramid!)
We read the book MOVE! and discussed different ways animals move: they jump, swim, slither, slide, waddle, etc. We read this book several times this week and the children understood the vocabulary more and more each time.
In Math, we finished Chapter 3 with a Unit test and started Chapter 4, which focuses on the numbers 6-10. We will be focusing on how to properly write the numbers, especially the numbers 8 and 9.
In Science, we are finishing our chapter on plants by planting our own plants. The children placed beans into small plastic bags and we will be observing its growth. Eventually, the beans will be planted in soil. We planted three different beans and we made predictions on which bean we thought would grow the fastest.
In Art, we looked at the work of Kandinsky, a famous abstraction painter. We made a replica of his famous concentric circle painting. The children were encouraged to use a lot of colors and make it unique.
The children bought home their sight word books this weekend. Please review the words with your child and send the book back to school on Sunday so that we can add more words to it!
Many children have been finishing their food before lunchtime. Please make sure your child has enough food for breakfast, snack, and lunch. We will be on the Week 2 menu this week if you would like to purchase breakfast or lunch for your child.
Thursday, November 22nd, is a half day and the children will leave at 12:00.
Also, Sunday, November 25 is Picture Day. Please make sure your child is in uniform.
Have a great weekend everyone,
Ms.Victoria
