Classroom News
Mrs. Embretson, September 25
Week at a glance...
Writing: Throughout the week we worked with our "I like..." chart. Each student helped me finish the sentence as I wrote the words. We noticed that letters of a word go close together and there are spaces between words. We also learned to point to our words as we read. Yesterday, we cut apart the words of our sentences and glued them back together. We drew pictures to match our sentences and compiled the pages into a class book about our favorite colors. I can't wait for you to see our class books when you visit during parent/teacher conferences.
Math: The main focus this week was noticing the 5-group in numbers 6-10. We also practiced matching sets to a number and acting out adding and subtracting stories.
Social Studies/Science/Health: We continued to learn about being a scientist this week. Scientists use their five senses and special tools to help them learn about things. Ask your child how we used our 5 senses and tools this week.

Save the Date! We will be going on a field trip to The Pickin' Patch in Marionville on Friday, October 9, 9:00-12:00. The school will cover the cost of the students, which includes a small pumpkin.
