Week of September 12-16, 2011


This week we continued to focus on numbers 1-10. The kids had a great time playing Number Bingo on Monday. Tuesday, we read 10 Apples Up On Top  by Dr. Seuss and cut out as many apples that we could balance on the top of our (drawn) head! Wednesday we reread The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn, traced both of our hands with a little help from our friends, counted and glued hearts to our fingers, and wrote the numbers 1-10 on the hearts. Thursday, Mrs. Kennedy and I were at a Professional Development Writing class, but the children colored a sea life picture that will be turned into a puzzle - look out for it coming home in the next week or so. Throughout the whole week we've also been focusing on Birthdays with our first poem of the week  - The Birthday Cake. Ask your child to recite it to you! We celebrated 2 birthdays this week (Rachel and Jacob) and on Friday we graphed our birthdays according to the month and discussed which month had the most birthdays, as well as which month had the least birthdays.

We started our "Star Fish of the Week" this week with Alain who did a great job leading the entire class in the morning routine each day (Days of the Week, Calendar, Number of Days in School, Weather, Poem of the Week, ABC Song). Students were also assigned "Jobs" for the week. Parents, ask you child if they had a job this week and what their job was. We will choose a new Star Fish of the Week and assign new jobs every Monday.

Blankets were sent home on Friday to be washed. Also, if your child brought a pillow to school, please leave this at home. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me or Mrs. Kennedy.

Have a great weekend!
