Hi Parents,
We sure said goodbye to the beautiful summer weather last night! Oh my!
The students really seemed to enjoy the apple unit last week. Did you hear about our apple tasting? We sampled Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Granny Smith. Once again, Granny Smith won! The final tally was, Red Delicious: 2 votes, Golden Delicious: 6 votes, and Granny Smith with 8 votes. (I student was absent). I have been doing this apple tasting for 10 years now, and Granny Smith has been the winner every year! Ask your child to name the 5 parts of an apple,and how Johnny Appleseed got his name. It was a fun week!
Thanks for reviewing the color words, the class did quite well!
Our agenda this week:
Today: Congratulations Kayla O'Brien for being our first Star-of-the-Week!! A letter went home explaining the details and who our new class friend is- Baby Duck! She is 5 years old, and has had many fun adventures over the years. She especially loves visiting homes she has previously visited in years past.
Gg picture paper assigned for homework. If your child draws their pictures, please have him/her color them-it looks better when their paper is presented to the class.
Tuesday: Computers
Wednesday: Gg printing paper assigned for homework
I will introduce "blending" of letter sounds c,o, and g. This is how we learn to read.
I always tell the students when we make a milk shake, we blend ice cream and milk to make 1 thing-a milkshake. When blending sounds, we blend them together to make one sound.
Thursday: Art
In Religion this week, we are discussing the gift of our 5 senses that God has given us. We will be using many of our senses on Friday when I make popcorn with the class-Yum!!
Friday: Prayer service @ 9:30
Gym
Mother Goose field trip permission slip/money due
Begin printing in our journals as part of our morning work. This will continue every Friday throughout the year. Its always so interesting to see the printing in the journals when the students first begin, and then what the printing looks like in May-its amazing!
I began the "Challenge packets" today. I have the students put up their privacy folders-this way I can get an accurate result of how well they each did. I hope to send them home on Friday.
Rest towels will be coming home to be cleaned this Friday.
Have a great week-don't blow away!!
Mrs. Revis
