Week of October 5

10/9/2015

 

Terrific Threes

We had a very active week!  In religion, we learned that we can use our mouths to taste.  We have had many yummy snacks this week to celebrate birthdays!  We talked about our favorite foods and will have more fun with this unit next week.

We also learned about the color green.  We played games, sang songs and created cool crafts with this new color.  We will wrap up this theme next week.

We have also begun our Fire Safety unit.  We had a visit from the local Fire Company on Thursday and were able to see some of the equipment they brought.

REMINDERS:
October 19 -- Wolfgang orders due

October 22 -- Early Dismissal at 10:00 AM

October 23 -- Fall Fest

October 29 -- Halloween Celebration

When your child is absent, please remember to call the school office!  Thank you!

Fantastic Fours

We have had another fun week with our Fantastic Four friends!  In religion, we learned about our Church family.  We also celebrated Pro-Life Cupcake Day and enjoyed a yummy treat on Wednesday.

We completed the letter E activities and began learning about the letter F.  F is for Fire Safety.  We began learning about "Stop, Drop and Roll" this week.   We will be continuing our Fire Safety unit into next week.
We also completed our number 3 unit and introduced the Touch Math program. Touch Math uses dots that we call "Touch Points" on the numerals.  Each TouchPoint on numerals 1-5 represent one counting number. Numerals 6-9 use double Touch Points that are touched and counted twice.  These are the Touch Points with a ring around them. We are learning to touch and count each Touch Point to help us identify a numeral. Touch Math gives the children a physical approach to identifying a numeral.    By learning the Touch Math system now, the children are gaining another tool to help them with more advanced math skills.

We also celebrate community helpers.  The children were adorable in their costumes!  We had police officers, firefighters, teachers, moms, doctors, construction workers, hair stylists and cowgirls.
