I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the summer-like weather! Please take a moment to see all the fun that was had in our classroom last week!
School Safety
On Monday we welcomed Officer Hart and Officer Crown to Boyden School! They did an excellent job talking to the students about school safety and the importance of stopping, looking, and listening to the adults around them in an emergency situation.
It looks like Rebel has heard Officer Hart and Officer Crown's safety speech one too many times!
Media
Another highlight of our week was visiting the Media Center (library) for the first time! We met the Media Specialist, Mrs. Moses, and got a tour of Boyden's library. Please note that library day will be on Tuesdays. Please be sure that your child returns their book each week so that they are able to check out a new one!
Literacy
Last week in Literacy we learned about the letters M and N through our Fundations program. The children are adapting quickly to the language and routines in the program and have enjoyed using whiteboards and magnets to practice their letters and sounds!
We also learned that syllables are the number of "beats" in a word. The class had a great time counting the number of syllables in their names!

Math
In math we continued to practice counting numbers to 5! The children have been doing a wonderful job with this concept and enjoyed playing many fun games last week which helped them practice this skill! This week we will focus on counting numbers 6-10!
Roll and Build was a great activity to get the students counting! Making cube towers was an especially fun part of this game!
The class also learned how to play Counting War during Center Time last week. Partner games are always so much fun!
International Dot Day!
Last week our class had a great time celebrating International Dot Day, a day that recognizes the much-loved story The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. In recognition of this day, the class enjoyed creating their own colorful dots, as well as taking a story walk outside!
A big 'Thank You' to Mrs. Miles, one of Boyden's amazing reading specialists, for joining us on our walk!
