- the
- of
- and
- a
- to
- in
- is
- you
- that
- it
- he
- was
- for
- on
- are
- as
- with
- his
- they
- I
- at
- be
- this
- have
- from
- or
- one
- had
- by
- words
- but
- not
- what
- all.
This week we finished up our descriptive writing about pumpkins. We are excited to put them up on our bulletin boards in the hall along with the art that we have been working on. Have your child locate the "juicy", or descriptive words in each of the following:



Some of the students have finished their pumpkin art projects while others are still working to complete the more complex project. In both projects, we focused on perspective and how the way the lines can create different effects. Here are some examples of each:





We also began our newest wall story this week, which is based on Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". We have only finished one page, but the students worked very hard on them and are very proud of the work they have done on them so far. Here are a couple of examples. Ask your child to point out the descriptive language in each.




We have really been working hard over the course of the year to stretch out or words so we can hear all of the sounds. We have been focusing on beginning and end sounds, and then filling in the letters in between. See if your child can read these words to you:



In social studies, we discussed the word "belonging". We asked students to describe the groups that they belong to. Ask your child what groups they believe that they belong to!



Reminder:

- School Photos came home this week. The deadline to order photos is November 18th.

Dear Parents/Guardians, Inline Skating : Our class will be skating on  March 20, 21 and 22 . If you wish, you may send your child's helmet to school on Monday, March 19 and it can stay in our classroom for the week. At this point in time, we do not require parent volunteers as the Leadership Club from Kenneth D. Taylor will be supporting students with getting their gear on.     Request: We are going to be starting our science unit on Building Things in the next few weeks. It is a really fun unit, but it requires lots of materials. Therefore, we are requesting your help!   If you have any of the following items that are empty and clean, please send them with your child to school.   ·        Kleenex boxes ·        Cereal boxes ·        Yogurt cups ·        Shoe boxes ·        Toilet p...

Dear Parents and Guardians,   We have had a very busy week of learning so far. On Monday morning, we started our day by writing in our journals. The students were challenged to write about one event from their weekend with lots of detail. They were also asked to create more than one sentence. Mrs. Witczak and I are VERY IMPRESSED with the progress we have seen in our student's journal writing over the past month. Here are a few examples from September: Here are some examples from this week: Here are all of the sight words we have learned so far this year. At this point in time, your child should be able to quickly read and correctly spell each of the words. When working on the words at home, please ensure you practice them in a different order each day:)                             1. the                  11. he ...
