September 3

Another great day!!  Monday - Thursday we have gym at 8:35.  This is a rushed time for us but I am happy with how smoothly things are running.  Thursday's gym class will be dance.  We have music on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Just a reminder that we have early dismissal on Fridays (12:03).

Today we worked on a number of calendar activities.  We are learning about the days of the week, months of the year and how to read a calendar.  We are also talking about the weather and making a graph.  We made a prediction as to which type of weather will have the most days this month.  Fingers crossed that sunny wins.

We are also practicing counting to 100 by 1's 5's and 10's.  We are working on counting by 2's to 20 and sometimes beyond.  

Each day we have Writer's Workshop.  We are working on drawing a picture and labelling it with words and sounds.  I have shown the kids how to say words slowly and stretch them out like a rubber band when they are trying to spell.  Any extra practice at home would be greatly appreciated.

In Math we are working on creating and extending patterns.  Please as your child about the game we played on the smart where we tried to trick each other.

Overall an amazing day!  Have a wonderful evening.
