Mrs. Borden
and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter (Week of October 1)
Handwriting/Writing: We will continue to review “Frog Jump
Capitals” while we are teaching the remaining capital letters. We will also continue to work on “Starting
Corner Capitals” and numbers to 5. We
are very impressed with how handwriting is improving each and every day. Things like: staying within the boundaries,
making the correct curves and lines to form the letters, and being able to copy
the letter formation has been going very well. Keep up the good work!
Reading: Our new
story is: Dig, Dig, Digging and it is
a nonfiction story. Our weekly essential
question is: “How do machines help you work? “We will be classifying and
categorizing. Our amazing words are: scooping, swooshing, squelching, gobbling,
spinning, rumbling. We will continue
to talk about nouns. We have been
introducing many letters and sounds wherever possible (Morning Meeting,
Handwriting, Reading, Small Groups) to get as many of the letters and sounds
taught as possible. We continue to chop
sounds in words and clap out the syllables.
In Math, we will be wrapping up our topic
on Numbers 0-10. We will review counting
to 10, writing the numbers, identifying the numbers, and counting objects to
represent the numbers. We will continue
to count to 100, add numbers on our daily school day count, and talk about
calendar and weather.
Science/Social Studies: This past week, we had an amazing apple unit
to celebrate Johnny Appleseed’s birthday and the beginning of Fall. We made applesauce, made Johnny Appleseed
headbands, read several books about apples, graphed our favorite apples after
having an apple taste test, labeled parts of an apple, made an apple craft, and
so much more! We thoroughly enjoyed the
experience.
