Dear Families,

October 14, 2016

I hope you all had a nice long weekend. Since this was such a short week, this is just a quick note to let you know how our week went.

We are enjoying our Trees and Weather Unit very much. We went on a leaf hunt and collected 5 different types of leaves. The students made leaf rubbings with the leaves they collected. We have been reading a lot about the cycle of apple trees, Today, we tasted Granny Smith, Red delicious, Yellow delicious and McIntosh Ask your child which one was their favorite!

Our letter of the week was “Bb.” Our tongue twister was, “Brianna and Ben bounce beach balls.”

In Writer’s Workshop, we tried writing one short sentence with a period at the end of the sentence. We brainstormed a list of things that are red and wrote about one of them and did the same with the color orange the following day. The student’s also wrote about things that are round after reading a book about shapes.

In math we learned about 2- Dimensional and 3- Dimensional shapes. We were able to notice the difference and name the shapes. Practice this at home or in the grocery store where you can find lots of 3- Dimensional shapes.

If you have not sent your child’s fabric in for the class scarecrow please send it in soon!! I want to thank you for your cooperation in keeping your child home when they are ill..it is greatly appreciated and very considerate of you.

Thank you so much in advance.

Have a nice weekend,

Sincerely,

Mrs. MacIntyre
