Color of the Week: Brown

Popcorn words: “go” and “stop” 

Please add the October flash cards sent home today to the prior ones. Thank you so much for practicing with your child.  It is making a difference!  This was the last color book.  Enjoy reading all the books and singing the color songs at home!

Reading Workshop: We continued to work on retelling stories we read together. We also had fun creating a Brown Bear, Brown Bear retell bracelet. This bracelet came home Monday, hopefully they shared with you! 🙂

Writing Workshop: This week in writing we finished up our small moment stories writing across 3 page booklets! I am excited to share their progress with you at conferences! We have all come so far in our writing! I can’t wait to begin our new unit of labeling and list books as we investigate the world around us as scientific writers next week!

Math: Our math activities helped us know that we can compare numbers using the tiles = (equal) and =/…a diagonal line through (not equal), order numbers to complete dot to dot pictures and make groups of 6-10 using 5 strips and extra ones.
