Happy Monday! I hope you all enjoyed the lovely fall weekend we had- it looks like the Fall weather is here to stay!
Last week we read The Kindness Quilt by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace. The Kindness Quilt is a story about a class doing a special project on kindness. At first the character is unsure of what she should do her project on but she continues to do kind things for the people in her life and comes up with the idea to build a kindness quilt to display all of her acts of kindness. When she presents it to her class they decide to join in! The kindness grew and grew! As a class we decided to build our own kindness quilt and show our hallway how easy it can be to spread kindness!
Math- For the next few weeks we will begin learning strategies for solving addition problems. We will create a class "strategy wall" that lists all of the strategies we learn and practice. Some of the strategies we will use include counting on, using the turn-around-rule, and using pairs of numbers that add to 10 (such as 3 and 6, or 9 and 1).
Writing- This week, we are continuing to generate ideas for stories. We will be drawing a picture and writing about "What I want to be". We will be learning how to add details to our stories and picture and sharing our writing. Our class has come up with some really great ideas for what they want to be when they grow up. I look forward to your student sharing their story with you! You may have a future zoo keeper, pharmacist, teacher or scientist on your hands!
Spelling- This week we are working with the short i sound (like insect) and final x (like fox). Our spelling words are IT, SIT, FIX, SIX, IN, TO, YOU, IS.
We will be doing several craft projects this week- check back later this week to see their work before it is sent home!
Enjoy your week!
Miss O'Neil
