Pumpkin Patch and a week of fun!

What a fun, busy week we have had!  We have been learning about Fire Prevention Week and loved our visit on Wednesday from the Columbia Fire Department.  See the pictures in the blog post from earlier in the week.  We had a blast at Peach Tree Farms on Thursday and loved having so many of you come and have fun with us!  Thanks for your help!

We met our first Class Dojo point goal and had a pajama party on Friday.  They look so cute and cozy in their jammies!

We enjoyed doing ST math in our pj's as well

On Wednesday we had another counselor lesson with Ms .Harris. She visits every other Wednesday for 30 minutes. She read us a book about Howard B. Wigglebottom.  Howard taught us about bullies, how to handle them and how to NOT become a bully.  Check out more Howard B. Wigglebottom stories and character lessons at https://wedolisten.org/

An overview of our learning this past week:

Fundations-letter e, r.  Check your Friday Folder on more ways to help with Fundations at home. 

Shared Reading-We read the big book A Firefighter and the poem Halloween.  Both featured our new word wall word, see.  We also took our first spelling test on Friday!  Check your child's take home folder to see how they did.  Please help them practice ones that they missed as they are expected to spell/read/write all of them correctly.  Every Friday we will have a spelling test over the new word of the week.  Next week's new word is the.  Every Friday your child will bring home their word wall list that has all of their words on it...this will help you practice at home.  Every Monday they get a new word wall list to keep in their book box with the new word added to it and they read it daily at Read to Self time.  

Daily 5/Read to Self- Ask your child what Daily 5 centers they went to this week.  Ask them what they read during Read to Self  time.  Ask them what day they get to shop for new wish books at Read to Self time. .

Math-we continued to learn about numbers 0-10.  We are also practicing counting to 30.  Next week we will continue to work on numbers, but also learn about patterns. 

Writing-ask your child about the new writing paper we use at writing time.  We have moved from blank paper to special paper with a place for our name/date, picture and lines to write our story on.  Check out our Good Writers chart that helps us with this new paper.

Enjoy your weekend!  Take some time to read to your little one and play outside!
