Dear Families,
I hope you all are enjoying the beautiful Autumn weather. We had a nice week here in K-3. Right now we are digging right into our Trees and Weather unit and the students are really enjoying watching the changes in the trees right outside our window. We have “adopted” three trees on the playground and we are going to be using our science eyes to watch the changes that occur with each tree throughout the seasons. You may notice your child paying special attention to trees or even naming different parts of a tree. Enjoy and encourage this with them!
Our letter of the week was “Bb. Our tongue twister was “Brianna and Ben bounce beachballs.” I hope that you enjoyed reading your child’s September writing. I will send a folder home at the end of each month.I will also be keeping one writing sample from each month in a folder here at school. At the end of the year you will get the folder and you will be amazed at the growth your child makes!
In math, we continued to practice with our numeral formation. We also began naming and identifying 2D and 3D shapes.
On Friday, we will meet with our 4th grade buddies for the first time. Your child will have one buddy, a couple of students have two because of an uneven number of classmates, which they will meet with every Friday. The 4th graders generally will come down to our classroom at the end of the day and read to their buddy and then we will go outside on the playground together. It is a great interaction and they are always very excited when they see each other in the hallway throughout the year.
You will have a chance to meet your child’s 4th grade buddy at our Annual Holiday Concert in December. It is always on the the last day of school before the Holiday break and it will be in morning.
I hope you all have a great long Columbus Day weekend.
See you Tuesday.
Sincerely,
Mrs. MacIntyre
