Letter of the week: Hh

Number of the week: 6

A flyer will go home this week to review all of the guidelines for Halloween. If you have signed up to bring something for our small celebration, please feel free to send it in at your earliest convenience.

Sight Word Practice

We LOVE to practice our sight words with sand writing. We also got to use dry erase markers to come up and find a word and circle it. We have also used play-doh and colorful rice.

Nature Center

Here are some photos from our trip to the Nature Center. We learned how to make apple cider, saw the farm animals, had a picnic lunch and got to go on the awesome playground!

 Cheers to Johnny Appleseed!

 Room 210 had so much fun!!

Looking Ahead...

Last week I forgot to post the letter and the word of the week, I apologize! Last week we learned the letter G and the sight word, see.

This week the letter of the week  is: Mm
Word of the week: go
Number of the week: 5

We started homework last week! Thank you for working with your child and returning the homework the next day. Homework will be twice a week until book-in-a-bag starts next month.

A Halloween sign-up went out over the weekend for supplies for the party. Thank you to everyone who signed up! A letter will go home soon explaining how Halloween works at Roxbury.

 In addition to those materials, I am asking for Halloween stickers for a letter H project! If you would like to send some in, please let me know!

Blankets went home Friday and do not  need to be returned. We are transitioning to quiet time with toys.

Buddy Reading

Our third grade buddies came to visit! Occasionally throughout the year, Mrs. Munnelly's third grade class comes to read with us. This time around we did the listening, but next time around we will be ready with the perfect just right book to read to the third graders!

Speaking of reading just right books- check out my reading group with their new witch finger pointers!

D is for DAD and Dots!

This is a photo of our very first word we built on our blending board! Each week we learn a letter, we have more opportunities to build words. Sometimes we build silly, nonsense words like dod, or cag but we built dad and blended it together! WAY TO GO Kindergarten!

These are some photos of us working on our letter D project. We got to use dot markers to trace the Ds!

Happy Birthday Fia

We celebrated our first birthday a week ago. Happy belated birthday to Fia who turned 5!

Sight Word Readers

You may have noticed  a small paper book with the sight word of the week in your child's folder. My suggestion is to hang on to these books! Once your child gets more familiar with book skills, they are going to want to read just right books and these will be perfect! They can read to you, a sibling, or their stuffed animals!

Happy Reading!

Apples Continued

Here are some of the other apple activities that took place last week in our classroom. We tasted Granny Smith, Mcintosh, Gala, and Golden Delicious apples.

Survey says....

We like green AND red apples the best!

In writing, we are learning what it means to label our pictures. We practiced with the sight word, ME this week, and labeled the parts to an apple project we painted.

In math, we played an apple graphing game.

  On Friday, we had free choice centers! We are getting used to being at a center and playing games with our friends. Eventually, a specific center will be assigned.

We are practicing tracing those 1's and 2's with a dry erase marker!

  1:1 counting practice

 puzzle matching

Next up... bats & owls!

Looking Ahead...

Letter of the week: Dd
word of the week: me (our very first sight word)

If you have not sent in your field trip money, please do so ASAP!

Please remember to send a blanket back to school tomorrow for rest time.

Be on the look out for the October family project.

A is for Apple!

We kicked off our apple week to go along with the letter A, and apple season! Thank you to the DelVecchio, Rodney, Marroquin, Hamon, Hewell, O'Brien and Lopez families for sending in apple snacks all week long! We enjoyed doughnuts, apple cider, mini apples pies, apple granola bars, apple slices and apple sauce.

We read nonfiction books about apples and learned the parts of an apple. We had our first week of math centers, and of course they were apple themed! Here we are playing our centers.

Number forming with play-doh.

Counting practice on apple trees!

More counting practice!

The next two stations we have already been introduced to the math maniupulatives, but we love Dominoes and stackable cubes!

Check back soon for more apple activities!
