Whooo’s ready for the Pumpkin Patch??

I hope everyone is ready for a wonderful time at the Pumpkin Patch! Wear some cool and comfortable clothes and get ready to have tons of Fall Fun!!

Our whole group sound next week will be /t/ as in turtle.  We will be learning all about turtles this week! We will be painting a turtle, and have a new poem about turtles to put in our Poetry Journals.  The children love learning about different animals each week! I am always amazed at what they already know.   Our word wall words for the week are: 

at  that  old  open  many

We are moving right along with our Language rules.  Next week I’ll introduce Rule 8, holidays begin with a capital letter.  I’ll also introduce alphabetical order.  We will continue to practice all the previous rules introduced. Keep up the good work on editing sentences and remember language rules.  This little group of firsties are not only sweet, they are SMART!!

In math we will tested on Chapter 6 Thursday so for the next two weeks we will be continuing our study of number sense and practicing our addition facts, including doubles.  I hope everyone is using the Math Facts in a Flash program at home for extra practice! We are working hard at passing our Math Facts all 40 problems correct within the 2 minute time limit. Everyone is making great progress at passing on to the next level, keep up the good work! Let me know if you still can’t access Math Facts at home.  Last week I introduced Math Stations and the children LOVED it! They did a wonderful job working together!
