Panda News:
This week was National Education Week. We celebrated what we were thankful for at school.As you know our Family Breakfast is Tuesday, November 22nd. It will start at 8:00. We will finish with reciting a poem at 8:25. I hope all will be able to join us. I hope all of you have a restful and happy Thanksgiving.
Mrs. Griffith came in to talk about tattling vs telling. The students watched a video and discussed each situation. They learned a mental checklist they could use before they find a teacher:
Is someone in danger?
Is someone hurt?
Did I try to solve the problem on my own?
Am I minding my own business?
Language Arts:
We have been working on the word so and reviewing the other words we have learned. The
Pandas practiced diagonal lines in handwriting. We worked on the
letters X, Y & Z. Please try and reinforce the correct school way of holding a writing tool and forming letters and numbers. I am trying to break some bad habits. If they can learn proper formation now it will help with the fluency going forward. We also wrote our own version of I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Pie.
Math:
During math we
continue to work on numbers and quantities 0-10. We practiced
positional words with a board game (next to, in front of, on, etc.)
We will work on
turkey dice games as well as make a turkey glyph. The Pandas are
creating turkeys with the pattern block templates. The kids can't wait
for you to check out their work at the breakfast.
Art:
The classroom is looking very festive with all the Thanksgiving art work we have been creating!
