Dear families,

September 29, 2017

I can’t believe it is the last day of September! The class has come a long way in just one month. We are still getting used to our schedules but I think everyone feels comfortable and happy and secure in their K-3 environment.

This week our letter of the week was “Dd”. Our tongue twister was “David and Dominique dance with Dalmations.”

In our Writer’s Workshop, we worked with our Being a Writer program. We read a great book called Titch. It’s message pertained to all the things small children can do and how there are many things they can do to help their family and friends even though they are little. We also read Leo the Late Bloomer, which explains in a sweet way how children grow at their own pace. A definite important message for children.  The students loved the book! I am excited to send home the September Writing Folders next week so they can share with you how hard they have been working.

In math, we are practicing writing our numbers 0-5. We are also counting by the number of days we have been in school and breaking it down into tens and ones. We also graphed our eye colors and found out which eye color is most common in K-3. We incorporate a lot of math and literacy into our Morning Meeting. Your child should be able to clap out the syllables in their own name and they have a good understanding of what a syllable is.

Thank you all for the donations of tissues and Lysol wipes. I will definitely put them to good use!

Enjoy your weekend. Keep sending in those awesome signs of autumn!

Sincerely,

Mrs. MacIntyre
