October news



It is hard to believe October is almost over!   We've been busy working on new letters each week!  Learning how to print them and their sounds.  We started working on a weekend update every Monday too.  We're drawing pictures and using our "best guess spelling" to write the letters we hear.  Everyone is working so hard (especially since we haven't learned all the letters yet!) We are also adding sight words to our word wall.  Right now we have the words a, am, an, and, at, can, I, in, is, it, in, on, to, and see.  We've been building these words with tiles, playing sight word tic tac toe and circling them in our morning message. 
We've been talking about characters (animals or people) in the books we've been reading and how many stories have a "problem" that needs to be solved. 

In math we continue looking at numbers 1-10, practicing the formation by using number poems, counting objects, and using 10 frames to help us.

Of course we always have time to play with our friends and work on being a good friend.  Our value this month is responsibility.  We have been talking about what that means and what that "looks" like.








We had a marine biologist visit us today for the Ocean World program!  We got to hold live sea creatures!





Our Halloween parade and party is Oct 31st please make sure your child brings his/her costume in a labeled bag.
