Sorry for the delay in having this blog posted! Thanks for your patience.
The students were excited to fill me in about their field-trip to Cackleberry Farms. It sounds as though it was quite a success! Thanks to those of you who volunteered to come along and help out.
The Norcard stationery orders have arrived. I would have sent them home with the students, but I think all of them are too large for them to carry/fit into their backpacks. Please email me and we can make arrangements to get those items home.
The family tree projects are going well. If you haven't already sent in some photos for this project (that you don't mind having cut up!) please do so. I hope to have these finished up tomorrow and up for display.
We will continue to focus on our theme of autumn and the family. This week we'll also be doing some vocabulary activities about the parts of the body.
In Math we will continue to work on numbers from 0 to 20 and how to represent these numbers in a variety of ways; written form, numerical form, and with objects or drawings. So far the students are doing very well with this concept. We will gradually begin working more and more with the ten frame. A ten frame is a tool that helps students visualize adding and subtracting. We'll be working with it a lot! I've attached an example of a ten frame below, fairly straight forward, but I thought it couldn't hurt!
I'm in the process of updating the students' homework folders for this week. Students will have assigned homework on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Of course during the weekends, feel free to review any of what we've been working on to date with your child.
This week we'll also be focusing on the weather and its related vocabulary.
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email or by phone at Greenfield at any time.
Take care,
Ellen
