Hello!
Finally a full week! Feels like we haven’t had one of those in a while.
We worked on the letters K, L, M, N, and O. Trying to get through the rest of the alphabet before the holiday break.
We worked more on our numbers 1 to 5, and began practicing our math station rotation. Here are some of the stations we practiced this week.
We started looking into owls this week, listing what we know and what we want to learn as a class.
We also drew our own owls! They copied my example from the board.
To get ready for the holiday season we have started colouring some colour by number pictures. I will post a picture next week. So far they have been pretty good about recognising the number, though I feel they dislike my high expectations of no white spots.
On Friday we performed our first science experiment: Will it sink or float! The students had to first think about the object and make a hypothesis about the outcome. After their initial prediction, they were able to hold the object, and see whether their prediction changed. It was a lot of fun, and so much excitement. Here were some results.
Next week is another short one, with Monday off. Thursday is our winter concert. I will send out instructions Wednesday about the show, and how the evening show works. Tuesday I will send out some field trip notices for our last week of December. Also if you want November or December scholastic book orders, order soon because shipping takes about 2 weeks.
Have a good weekend and see you Tuesday.
