Our class has library on Fridays. We missed our library time due to the field trip this past Friday but I will try to send the kids in a few at a time to exchange books on Monday (the 26th). Library books can stay at home after checkout but should come back to school for library days. A good idea is to always keep it in the backpack.
We are having fun with our apple unit. The students learned about the word "schema" and used their schema to discuss what they already know about apples. We created a chart with their ideas and their new learning. Students also worked in cooperative groups to come up with ideas for our apple tree map to state what Apples Can, Apples Have, and Apples Are. We are working on seasons of the apple tree big books and also made fact books about apples. This coming week we will label the parts of an apple , finish up big books, sequence the growth of an apple, and make apple sauce!
In Phonics we are continuing to review how to work with sorts. We will sort pictures based on medial vowel sound and then soon sort words based on various factors. I am finishing up the September assessments to put students into groups based on their spelling level and students will begin to get their word lists to work with based on their need of instruction.
It was so nice to meet many of you at Open House! I am still waiting for some handbook sign off pages. Please print this off and send it in as soon as possible.
