A note from Ms. Poteet…
Wow, we had the
perfect day for our field trip to Huber’s Orchard and Winery last week. The kids had a terrific time playing on the picking
apples, going on the wagon ride, picking a pumpkin, going to the petting zoo,
and getting lost in the corn maze.
Thanks so much for the chaperones who volunteered to attend the field
trip (Ms. Berry, Ms. Hall, Ms. Caswell, Ms. Slade, Ms. Mattingly, Ms. Turner,
and Ms. Wendling). We couldn’t have done
it without you! Check out our pictures below!
Friday is our field trip to
the Kentucky Center for the Arts and Waterfront Park. Please have your child pack a sack lunch and
drink and wear their orange class t-shirt.
I hope everyone enjoys
some quality family time next week! I
cannot wait to come back and here everyone’s stories. When we come back we will start working on
our Thanksgiving Play!
What are
we learning?
Reading Workshop
This week we will
learn about two more strategies good readers use. We will focus on “rereading” and “ask a
friend”. Due to our field trip to Stage
One on Friday, we will try to get to the library on Wednesday or Thursday.
Writing Workshop
In writing we are learning
how to use booklets to tell a complete story from beginning to end. Due to Fall Break, we will not send Family
Journals home on Friday. Those will
continue when we return.
Handwriting
Handwriting instruction will
focus on developing fine motor skills as well as the proper formation of the
following letters: Vv, Xx, Yy & Zz.
Word Study
This week, we will explore
the letters Vv, Xx, Yy & ZZ. Ask your child about the letter sound chants
for these. We will also learn how to
read and write these words that will be added to our Word Wall: is, there, look.
Have your child sing you the songs for these words and practice reading and
writing them each day. This is very
important.
Math
We are learning to how
to count and label (writing that number) groups of items up to 50. This is a big task. Please practice counting at home with items
such as: Cheerios, beans, pennies, etc.
Social Studies
We
are learning more and more about Native American culture of the Eastern
Woodlands group. We will study what they
ate and the clothes they wore. We will
also create our own Native American vests.
Reminders
*Send
in a healthy snack and water bottle every day.
*
Our classroom gets very chilly sometimes.
Please send in a light jacket or sweater for your child to keep in their
back pack.
*
Sign your child’s weekly planner every night.
