October 25-29

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!
