Fall Into Our Week


Reading:
We will spend the week exploring a variety of farm animal books. The children will concentrate on fiction vs. nonfiction, making connections, matching one to one, getting their mouth ready, and making sense of what they read. My friends will continue to practice good reading habits as well!

Writing:
Reading and science will be integrated into writing as my best friends will learn the basics of using our writers checklist, making simple sentences, and going back to add to their work. Juicy words or adjectives will enhance their farm animal writings!

Bucket Busters
My friends have nearly filled our bucket this week by displaying Responsibility throughout the week! One student, however, stood out by always doing the right thing which showed me that we could count on her! Way to go Hadley Carrisalez! You fill my bucket!

Math:
Counting and comparing numbers will be our focus once again. We will dive a little deeper into story problems and play several hands-on games that will allow number combinations!
