This week our Essential Question is: How does your body move? We will be reading and talking about ways that our bodies and some animals’ bodies move. We will connect this week’s learning to our daily gross motor exercises where the movement helps our brains work smarter. Our phonics study will be “r” and “s” blends. Another tricky week! Our spelling words are: spill, spin, grab, grass, drop, drip. Our sight words are: two, move – with exposure to: jump, run. Because this is so tricky I will be doing something different for next week. We have our Artist-in-Residence program next week. We will be singing, drumming, and dancing with the Hawaiian culture as well as learning even more about our 50th state. As such, we will not be having any new spelling words next week. If your child is struggling with certain words from this week’s assessment, they can “re-take” those words next week. We will have our first Wonders assessment next week. It will be exciting to see how we can put all our new learning together to sound out and stretch words, respond to stories, and read for details. We will have our Unit 2 assessment with our Everyday Mathematics program this week. We continue to build our friendships within our classroom and within the NBCS community.... We have noticed a comfort level that has settled in with everyone. Friends are reaching out to one another – but that also means friends are comfortable with “tattling” on one another. We read Julia Cook’s book, A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue and then talked about rules that we could follow to help us determine if something was “tattling” or information that needed to be shared. Using this great book to guide us, we came up with the following rules - - ask your child to explain these to you. We had such a great classroom discussion. A reminder about Thursday’s Halloween Parade... as per the school policy: your child must be able to see clearly if there is a mask, they must be able to walk easily, and their costumes cannot contain blood, guts, or weapons. We will have lots of learning going on all day long. Please do not send your child to school with their costume on. We will get dressed right before the parade at 1:00. We will return to the classroom for some yummy snacks and a continuation to our study of spiders!
