In our first few weeks, we have been learning our classroom rules and routines and how to make good choices. We begin our day by saying the Pledge of Allegiance and having a morning meeting where we greet our friends, share about ourselves, and go over the schedule for the day. In phonics, we are learning basic handwriting strokes to prepare us to write lowercase letters and have taught the high frequency words a, I, the,to,play,see, and for. Everyday, we engage in an interactive read aloud where we ask questions and make predictions and connections. Before we begin the writing process, we are learning how to draw people and objects using shapes. In mah,, we are learning the names of shapes (circle, triangle, square, rectangle, and hexagon) and are using words to describe how a shape is formed (curve, straight lines, corners, edges, and sides). In science, we will begin talking about the four seasons and describing weather as we welcome the new season of autumn. Be on the lookout for our next family project - Pumpkin Pals!
