March News
Last week we finished up a theme on Friendship and Anti-bullying. Next week we will beginning a month-long theme focused on different aspects of Spring.
The children are enjoying Writers’ Workshop. Each day the children are engaged in a different writing activity. Last week we tried ‘Shared Writing’. During Shared Writing everyone draws and writes on a whiteboard as we create a story together.
This week, Friday, March 8th, we are going bowling with our Pen Pals! I will send out a permission form on Monday. Please ensure this is returned ASAP. Thank you!
In Math we are working on making and recording numbers using pictures and symbols. We are also working on a concept called Part-Part- whole. This centers around the understanding that amounts can be separated in different ways and then be combined together to create the whole again. For example: 1and 6 = 7; 2 and 5= 7 ; 3and 4 = 7 . We also continue to work on counting; the foundation of understanding mathematics.
Thank you to everyone who participated and showed interest in our Family Literacy Night. A fun time was had by all! It was heartwarming to see so many parents and children making connections and enjoying the Literacy Activities that the students engage in every day, at school.
In April, I am planning another afterschool activity. It will most likely be a math themed night- but I will see what the children want to do. J
