Wow, this month is flying by!! I can’t believe we will be coming to Halloween in 9 days 😳. We will be having a small party on Halloween day in the classroom. If you signed up to send treats please send them the morning of the party. I will check the list at school and send a reminder.
The children are allowed to wear their costumes to school. We will have a parade around the school to show our costumes to everyone. Please do not send something to school that is important to your child’s costume. I do not have time to look for lost pieces and pieces can get broken.
Literacy:
We will be learning about the letters c and o this week in Fundations. We will also focus some attention on syllables in a word.
I have begun to encourage the children to use our trick words when they are writing.
Numeracy:
We are continuing our work on numbers 1-5. We are counting sets, building sets of items, counting forward and backwards from 1-10. We are comparing groups of items, which has more, less and equal. Also we are discussing how we know the answer. (I know that this group has more because 5 is a bigger number than 2).
Parent-Teacher Conferences:
Yesterday I sent home a paper to show how to set up an interview to discuss your child’s progress. We only use the online form to set up the appointments. Once you create an account and the system opens, you will be able to see what available appointments are there. If there is no possible times you can meet, please send me a message and we can see if we can find a time. I enjoy getting to meet all the parents and discussing your child and all the great things they are doing!!
Have a great week 😊
