Week 12 Update

This week in Language Arts, we read the book Mouse Shapes throughout the week. The children reviewed their shapes and, more importantly, became aware of the fact that everything around them is made up of shapes. We did shape hunts around the classroom and played a group game to make our own mouse out of different shapes.


We reviewed our sight words last week and I will be introducing the word 'come' and 'me' next week. They will be our ninth and tenth sight words.

In Math, we continued Chapter Four: Numbers 6 to 10 and discussed number lines. We have also begun learning cardinal numbers (first, second, third, fourth, etc.) but will continue this next week so do not be alarmed if they had difficulty with Lesson 4.9 of the math homework last week.

In Science, we have begun Chapter 3: Places to Live and Grow. We started by discussing four habitats; the pond, prairie, and rain forest. We explored the pond habitat further by drawing pictures of it and the animals and plants that can be found there.

This week we will be following the Week 2 menu if you wish to purchase breakfast or lunch for your child. Please remember that chocolate and candy are prohibited food items. The children enforce this rule and will remind their friends if they see them eating non-healthy foods!
Thursday, December 6th will be the Christmas Concert.  The children have been practicing their songs and can't wait to perform them!

Have a great weekend,
Ms.Victoria
