Curriculum Update:
Fundations
Last week in Fundations the children learned about the letters c and o. We also practiced reading the sight words "you" and "of".
Math
In math we completed Module 3 in our Bridges curriculum which focused on "Friendly Tens". During this module the students worked hard to count and match numbers to ten using ten frames. We also learned two new games that the children had the opportunity to play during Work Stations!
Reader's Workshop
In Reader's Workshop we continue to enjoy reading fall poems! The children had a great time listening for rhyming words and identifying sight words we have been learning in class. We will continue to enjoy more fall poems in the week ahead!
Writer's Workshop
The class worked on their drawing skills as we continued with our illustration unit! Last week we practiced drawing cars, buses, and even whole playgrounds using familiar shapes. I am SO impressed with how far our drawing skills and pictures have come in the last few weeks!
School Safety
A big "thank you" to Officer Hart and Rebel from the Walpole PD who provided a fantastic safety presentation to the class on Thursday. Officer Hart gave age appropriate explanations of emergency procedures and what they entail. The biggest message for students was to STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN to the adults around them in an emergency situation.
It appeared as though Rebel had heard Officer Hart's presentation one too many times! 😂
OT Support
Another highlight of our week was getting to meet Boyden's two Occupational Therapists, Mrs. Carty and Mrs. Carty or Mrs. C as we called her (yes, they are related!). The Mrs. Carty's provided whole group instruction on proper body posture and pencil grasp. They also brought along some fun, fall themed center activities for the children to enjoy and help build their fine more skills and dexterity. One of the Mrs. Carty's will be back each month to provide more instruction on motor skills. We are very excited for their next visit!
Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon as we learn, grow, and play in the wonderful world that is K!
