Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter
Week of October 23, 2017

***In Math, we are working on Topic 1, One to Five.  We will be counting 1-5 and counting objects in different arrangements.  We will also be reading and writing numbers 1-5.  We have been counting every day to 100 and have been writing numbers 0-10 in Handwriting.  We are very prepared to start this topic!  Please continue to review 2D and 3D shapes and positional words to keep them fresh in your mind.  Keep up the good work!

***In Reading, our new story is: Nature Spy and we will be discussing the Setting of the story.  Our new amazing words are: discover, spy, pod, nature, acorn, pattern.  We are working on the beginning sounds in words as well as the final sounds in words.  In the Morning Message, we have been identifying periods, exclamation marks, and question marks in print. 

***Science/Social Studies- We have been talking about laws and rules that apply to children.  We have been working hard on Whole Body Listening and working on the SPARTY way so that we can earn the monthly reward.  We have also been talking about observing and using our 5 senses to understand the world around us.  We will continue to talk about Fall and pumpkins into next week.

***Reminders:  Please continue to check folders each day and clean them out from that day’s papers and sign and return anything that is stamped.  Please also continue to review sight words and read each night.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
