Week 9: Red Ribbon Week

 

 

 It's RED RIBBON WEEK!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Halloween

We will have a parade in the morning on the 31st--it usually starts around 8:40am.  Students are encouraged to wear their costumes, but may bring a change of clothing if they would like to change out of their costumes after the parade.  It's also a great idea to wear clothes underneath the costume so they can easily take the costume off. No masks, weapons, gorey makeup, or anything that could be highly distracting are allowed.

Altar

The altar is ready to put your items for Día de los Muertos. Thank you to Sara Sprecco who put it together.

If there is no death to talk about, please email me. In the past, I've had kids show the class a family picture and they simply introduce the people in their family. Ex. This is my brother _____. Este es mi hermano ____.

Topics for the week:

Language Arts:  We will be reviewing the letters and syllables that we have learned so far: s, t, l, m, p, and the five vowels.  We will also be emphasizing the sight words we have learned so far because they will be assessed for report cards starting in November.

Math:  We will be comparing and decomposing numbers to 10. Also, they will be counting and writing numbers 8, 9, and 10.

Color:  The color of the week is negro/black.

SLD:  We will be talking about insects in connection with the Wonders Language Arts curriculum. They will learn what the characteristics of insects are.

NGSS/Science: We will continue to understand why the Woodland playground is warmer than the Carver Elementary one. The kids should have gained a better understanding when they learned that darker surfaces are hotter than paler ones. How does this connect with the two elementary schools? We will then shift to talking about thunderstorms and flooding.
