Curriculum Update:
Into Reading
Last week we read the books Snail and Worm Again by Tina Kugler and Pete the Cat Too Cool for School by Kimberly and James Dean as we continued to answer the question: What makes each of us special? We also learned about synonyms and antonyms, and identified the problem and solution in the stories we read.
Fundations
In Fundations the students learned about the last two "magic c" letters d and s. We also practiced reading the sight/heart words an and can, and learned the color word black.
Math

Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon to watch us learn, grow, and play in the wonderful world that is K! 🍎📖🚌
Last week in math we continued to explore numbers 0-10. Our week began by learning about tally marks and how they can be helpful for organizing our numbers and counting by fives. The class had a great time representing numbers 5-10 by using popsicle sticks as tally marks!

Thank you to Mr. Dearborn who stopped by for a little pre-tally mark making fun!
We used the poem/chant "1, 2, 3, 4, number 5 shuts the door" to help us remember that our fifth tally mark should be diagonal, making a set of tally marks look like a gate!
SEL
We enjoyed another wonderful SEL lesson with Mrs. Audet last week! The focus of October's lesson was identifying feelings.
