Red Ribbon Week

Students went home today with a red ribbon and are to wear it all week. We talked about the difference between medicine that helps you and there are also bad drugs that you don't want. Reminder to bring a sack lunch labled with your child's name for our field trip on Wednesday. No lunch boxes please. Today we talked about the progression of how a pumpkin grows.

Compass Learning

Yesterday we had another visit to the computer lab and we were logged on to compass learning. It takes a while to log on 30 kids to the website even with the five adults we had! Please practice logging on at home. The user ID is their lunch number with a 1 in front and the password is their birth date, six digits. They have all been shown how to do this they just need practice! Have fun!

Stop, Drop and Roll!

We started our day by attending a Fire Safety assembly. They were told to establish a family meeting place in case there was a fire in their house.

In math we started learning about problem solving. Students were given some family stories such as, 4 family members were eating breakfast and the mom and the sister left the table. How many were still eating breakfast? The students were asked to draw this on their white boards and had turns to explain their thinking during our "math talk". The kids were really engaged with this activity! Practice story telling skills with math at home!

Come check our our ghosts hanging in our windows with some fabulous Halloween writing! Have a great weekend!

Computer Lab

Today was our first trip to the computer lab with all 29 of us! Good thing we had 4 adults in the room :) They did well. Click the link on the blog that says Compass learning and then use their lunch number and put a 1 in front of it. This number is their user name and their password is their birthday (six digits).

They can access compass learning at home as much as they like! Please give them some one on one time to help them get used to the program and where to put their finger and click on the mouse! We will continue to go to the computer lab every Tuesday.

It's October!

In math we are learning about right and left, keep reinforcing this at home. Other positional words such as above and below are good to talk about as well. Today we started writing some spooky stories and we would like to share some with you.
" Once a big haunted house moved and a skeleton followed and followed. Boo!" by Kian

"Once upon a time vampire lives in a haunted house with a friend skeleton. He slept in his refrigerator but someone knocked on the door and it was a ghost!" by Jonathan

"The tree monster lived in a haunted house." by Luke

We will post more great stories soon!

It's Spring!

It may be fall outside, but today we were talking about spring and the activities we do in the spring time. We also wrote about things we do in the spring time. In science we completed another page in our Seasons of the Apple Tree book. You guessed it....we made a tree with some blossoms on it.
Our letter of the week has been R and the color of the week was orange. Keep sending in those box tops we seem to be doing great for the competition!
