A note from Ms. Poteet…
The kids had a blast
at the Husky Hustle on Friday. Out class
collected more than $400 for our school to improve our playground equipment. Great Job!
Thanks to the parents who were able to come out and cheer our kids
along.
We had a great turn
out for the Harmony Harvest! I hope
everyone had a wonderful time!
This Friday is our field trip to Huber’s. We plan to leave school around 8:30am and
return around 2:00pm. We will get to
pick a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, go on a hayride, pick apples, take an
adventure through the corn maze, have a picnic lunch, and feed the animals in
the petting zoo! Please dress your child
for the weather and in shoes that may get muddy. They will need to bring a sack lunch and drink. We will pass out the
class T-shirts on Friday (this way, you won’t have to remember to dress your
child in their t-shirt). If you would
like to coordinate your child’s outfit, the shirt is orange with navy blue
writing. The design is adorable!
Box Tops for Education are due Friday. Please send them in a baggie labeled, “Poteet.” Funds from the Box Tops go directly into our
classroom budget. Keep collecting Box
Tops the rest of the year. Thanks!
Don’t forget to send
in a healthy snack every day!
What are we learning?
Reading Workshop
This week we will continue learning about strategies good
readers use. This week we will focus on using
more than one tool to read (flexibility with print strategies), and readers
always think about what makes sense. We will be visiting the school library on Monday.
Writing Workshop
In writing we are going to learn how to use a booklet
(writing a story with a beginning, middle and end). We will not be writing in our family journals
this week due to our field trip on Friday.
Handwriting
Handwriting instruction will focus on developing fine motor
skills as well as the proper formation of the following letters: Jj and Ww
Word Study
This week, we will explore the letters Jj , Qq and Ww. Ask
your child about the letter sound chants for both. We will also learn how to read and write
these words that will be added to our Word Wall: up, all, and with. Have your child sing you the
songs for these words.
Math
We will continue to practice writing numerals, and read and
count the tricky teen numbers.
