Panda News:

We made it through our first full week of school.  The kids are doing amazing learning all the rules and becoming a community of learners.  We celebrated International Dot Day with a whole school morning meeting.  Thank you to those that volunteered to chaperon our first field trip.  We will be have a few more throughout the year.  If you were not able to go or the space had filled up you will have another opportunity to join us. 

Language Arts: 

We have practiced making "mat man".  This helps the children learn body awareness. They worked with the wooden lines and curves that  they will be expose to during handwriting.     We also worked on the word a.  We used water colors to find a mystery word.  We also sorted the letters that are in our name and not in our name.

Math:

We have been working on the numbers 0-5.  We have also been working on patterning and geometric shapes.  The Pandas have used a variety of materials and games.  I have been establishing daily routines with the calendar. 

Social Studies:

October is safety month.  We will learn about fire safety, safety drills, bus safety, and Halloween safety.
