Christmas Concert

Don't forget the Christmas Concert is tomorrow at 9:00! Come early because the gym fills up.

Christmas lights

Today we made a string of Christmas lights project. On each light bulb we wrote a letter of our last name. Then we needed to put the letters in the correct order to spell our last name.

They turned out great!!

Help!!

We are making a special Christmas gift for parents. Please save your toilet paper rolls and send to school with your child. Thanks!!!

Our class turkey

Forgot to post a picture of our class turkey! Everyone did a GREAT job!!!!

5 ways to calm down

Today during social studies we learned about different strategies we could use to calm down when something or someone makes us angy.
The 5 strategies we looked at were:
1. sit quietly
2. take 5 deep breaths
3. count to 10
4. do 5 jumping jacks
5. hum a tune

There are others strategies too like coloring, drawing a picture, go for a walk, read a book, etc. Ask your child which one they would do to help them calm down.

No school

Just a reminder there is no school tomorrow.
 Have a great 3 day weekend!!!

Letter Z

Today we learned our last letter: Z. The uppercase and lowercase Z are written by saying: slide right, slant left, slide right. Some of these letters have helped us learn our right and left directions!!

Letter Y

The uppercase and lowercase Y's are different and that can be hard for some kiddos to remember. The uppercase Y is a slant right, slant left, pull down to the bottom. The lowercase y is a slant right, slant left to the bottom. What sound does Y make?

Letter X

Everyone loves the letter X! Slant right, lift, slant left. We write the uppercase and lowercase X the same way. Sometimes the sound can be tricky. Ask your child what sound X says....

Letter W

Today we learned the uppercase and lowercase W. Both are written the same: slant right, slant up, slant right, slant up.

Letter V

We learned the uppercase and lowercase V today. They are both written the same: slant right, slant up. See if your child can tell you the sound V makes and something that begins with V.

Halloween Party!!!

What an AWESOME party!!! A huge thanks goes out to our room parents! They did a wonderful job planning our activities!

The mystery box.... It was so much fun to feel all those slimey and gross things :)

                                           We made bats to hang around!

                                            Eyeballs and spiders for snack!

Happy Halloween!!!

Lowercase t

Yesterday we learned the lowercase t. This letter is a straight stick down, lift, cross near the top. We practiced the letter with no tail on the bottom but we talked about how sometimes we will see the lowercase t with a tail.

Letter T

This letter is straight stick down, cross on top.

Letter S

The upper case and lower case S are both written the same way: Curve backwards, curve forwards.

The upper case R is a straight stick down, lift, curve around, slant down.

The lower case r is straight stick down, up, over.

Lower case q

The lower case q is a circle, down, backwards monkey tail. We like to include the monkey tail so we know for sure it's a q and not the number 9.

Letter Q

Yesterday we learned the upper case Q. We write the upper case Q by making a circle, lift and slant right on the bottom.

Today we learned the lower case q. The lower case q is a circle around, straight stick down, backwards monkey tail.

MEA Break

Don't forget no school tomorrow and Friday. Enjoy your 4 day break!!

Letter O

Yay for another easy letter!!! The upper case O is start at the top, circle around. The lower case o is start at the top, small circle around. Ask your child if they can tell you what O says. It can be tricky!! I told the class to think about it like when you go to the dr. and they tell you to stick out your tongue and say "ah". Make your mouth like an O and say "ah".

Pumpkin Patch

It was a chilly morning at the pumpkin patch but we sure had fun!! Everyone had the chance to walk through the pumpkin patch and find the perfect pumpkin!!!

lower case n

This morning we learned about the lower case n. The lower case n is a short stick down, straight up, curve down. We looked at the difference between the lower case n and the lower case h. Sometimes we get those 2 letters mixed up! We want to remember the h has a long stick and the n has a short stick.

Letter N

We are slowing down a little bit with some of our letters, because we have more reading curriculum on our plates now! Today we learned the upper case N. This letter has a straight stick down, lift, slant down, straight up. Tomorrow we will learn about the lower case n.
