THIS WEEK

 This week we continued learning what it means to be in school while adding lots of great academic learning.  We learned what it means to be a good friend and how we should treat one another.   We are learning how to problem solve. 

We began our King/Queen of the Jungle this week and we are learning how to write our friends names, our own names, what it means to tell a story with our pictures, how to label, and lots more about being a writer.  

          We learned this week that there are three ways to read a book:  Read the pictures,  Read the words, and Retell the story.  The students did a great job learning to build stamina in their reading as we practiced these different ways.  We are beginning to understand that we are all readers.

          In Math, we learned about the numbers 0 and 1.  We are focusing on flat shapes beginning with circles, patterning and problem solving.   

Please see the back side of this newsletter for great achievements!   Keep working hard!
