Fabulous February!

 

February has been fabulous!  We have learned so much!  We have learned about Groundhog's Day, President's Day, rocks, Harriet Tubman, and next week we will be focusing on George Washington Carver.  The students have also been writing persuasive letters and pieces.  Ask them the definition of persuade.  We are now completing research on having animals as pets and students will be writing persuasive pieces on whether or not they are for or against it based on what they learn.  Kindergarten has been focusing on place value, word problems, addition and subtraction, and shapes in math.  First grade has worked on problem solving, skip counting, repeated addition, and measurement.  Check out our pics below.

January is flying by!  Next Friday is already the 100th day of school.  It is so hard to believe. We have started a new unit this nine weeks in reading and writing.  We are focusing on persuasive texts and writing.  Ask your child to define persuade.  We are reading several books to go along with this unit and started a chapter book entitled Lulu and the Brontosaurus.  Ask about Lulu.  She is an interesting little girl.  In math, kindergarten is working on measurement and learning the difference between length and height. First grade is working on addition with 3 addends and balancing equations.  We all have been focusing on our global address.  Kindergarten students need to know their address, including city, county, state, country, and continent.  First graders need to be able to loate and name the continents and oceans on a map. We have uploaded the new mystery reader link. There is no school on Monday due to the observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  Have a great long weekend!

November News!

Fall is flying by and we have learned so much in the Mighty Multiage class lately.  We have been learning about life cycles, pumpkins, spiders, day and night, and Thomas Jefferson.  We have focused a great amount of time on informative writing and the writing process. Students have learned to write in sequential order, the difference between facts and opinions, and how to edit their work.  They are working so hard!  Kindergarten has worked on word problems and comparing numbers in math and first grade has focused on fact families and skip counting. We have some important dates coming up.  Please see those below.  Also, check out the pictures from our fall centers.  We hope your families have a great Thanksgiving break!

Fabulous Fall!

 

It's hard to believe that September is coming to an end.  The month has been Sensational.  Our Mighty Multiage Social was fabulous yesterday.  Thank you to everyone for bringing the deliecious snacks.  We have had a great couple of weeks.  The students have learned so much about weather.  Ask them about all the different clouds, and weather tools. We did a really cool experiment where the students got to make a cloud rain!  The students have composed opinion pieces in writing. Kindergarten students have been working on decomposing numbers in math and first grade has focused on doubles facts. We have also worked concepts of print, retelling a story, sequencing the events of a story, and being able to tell if a book is ficiton or nonfiction in reading.  We even had a lesson on fire safety from a firefighter.  Next week, we are going to continue with many of these skills in reading.  Students are going to start learning all about living and nonliving things and will be working on a shared research project in class.  First grade math students will work on word problems and kindergarten students are still working on addition and decomposing numbers.  Check out our cool pictures of some of these events below.

****Conferences are approaching.  Please see your child's Tuesday folder for your child's scheduled time. 

 

Soaring in September

What a great couple of weeks we have had!  We have learned all about maps and globes, cardinal and intermediate directions, Benjamin Franklin, number sense, place value, and so much more.  Next week we will begin a unit on seasons and weather.  We have some fun experiments planned!  Today has been a blast!  Mr. Hackett came to read and it was Football Friday!  Check out our pictures below.  We hope you can make it to our Mighty Multiage Social on September 27th from 3-5 at Taylor Brawner Park.  Thanks for all your continued support and a big thanks to our wonderful FBIs (Father's Being Involved) who also came to read this morning!
