We had a great time on our field trip to the play If You Give a Cat Cupcake! Thanks you to Mrs. Marron, Mrs. Parrilli and Mrs. McHale for coming along!
Language Arts:
Letter P was our letter of the week and our sight word was "my." We read a few pumpkin books, learned about its life cycle, examined a pumpkin and used adjective to describe a pumpkin, and learned a pumpkin song!
Math:
With the pumpkin and Halloween theme, we practiced graphing, patterning, and counting. We also practiced skills already learned with our morning math boxes. We learned a bit about the penny this week.
Social Studies:
We talked more about bullying. We talked about what it means to be a bystander (someone who is not involved but realizes that the bullying is taking place) and how he or she can tell the bully to Stop! and get help. We discussed what we can do to stop ourselves from being a bully to others. We need to say Stop! to ourselves, take deep breaths and go on with our day. Lastly, we discussed the inappropriate remarks and how they are hurtful to others. (Ex: I don't like you! I'm not inviting you to my birthday party.) Lastly, we enjoyed some Halloween fun on Friday with a writing activity, our Fall Parade, and Fall Party!
Science:
This was a busy week for science. We finished up our senses unit with many non fiction books and lots of experiments! We also had an experiment with pennies to see what would happen to a dull penny if it goes into a mystery liquid. Did your child tell you what happened? It is fun to be scientists!
Have a safe and fun Halloween!

October 18-22
Language Arts: Our letter of the week was "r" and our sight word was"the." We focused on rhyming through books, songs, games and writing. Look for our Oh, A-Hunting We Will Go and our rhyming page. During Flex groups, we added a fall book and discussed labeling pictures in our journal.
Math: We played a game about tricky teens (11-19) and a game using our instant recognition skills called Rabbit Flash. We made number books 1-3 which helps us with number concept. Every morning, we are doing math boxes. For the next few weeks, we have boxes that reinforce the following concepts: graphing, counting, estimating, coin recognition, and more than and less than.
Social Studies: Our Cool Tool for the next few weeks is on Bullying. This week we talked about what a bully is and how a bully situation is different than an accident or small conflict. We also discussed the difference between talking and tattling. We practiced implementing the Stop! Walk! and Talk! method for bullying. We also practiced what to do if someone uses the Stop! method on us. A detailed explanation of these procedures are available on our May Watts website.
We finished our unit about Firefighters with a firefighter tool four square.
Science: We began our unit on the Five Senses. We have read a few books and created a small book for our book bags that tell what our five senses do.
Important News: Monday is our field trip to the play "If You Give a Cat a Cupcake." Please send a snack and a SACK LUNCH (lunch from home.) We will be eating lunch in our rooms after our field trip so the cafeteria and hot lunch will not be accessible to us.
Friday is our Fall Parade and Party. Please refer to the handout for details. Remember that children come to school with their costumes on. We will begin the parade at 2:00. The parties will begin at 2:15. We are in need of a few more helpers. Please contact Tina Jagshi (info in email received this morning) if you are interested.
Have a great weekend!
