Turkey Talk!

We have been very busy here in Room 6. Please take a look below to see all the work and fun we have been doing the past few weeks! 

Our Learning: 

We learned about the letters a & g this week. These letters are very tricky to write, so we will continue practicing these two letters, as well as all letters previously learned, next week. Don't forget to practice at home too! 

Thanksgiving:

This week, we talked a lot about why we celebrate Thanksgiving, and some things we are thankful for. We wrote thank you cards to a person we are thankful for. Together we made a thankful tree to decorate our classroom door. Look below to see what your child is thankful for.

Turkeys:

We discussed what about turkeys we would like to know more about. The students generated some great questions! Check out the questions below....please be sure to ask your child if his/her question was answered! 

We read some nonfiction books to see if any of our questions about turkeys could be answered, and to learn new information about turkeys. We used our new learning to brainstorm words to describe what turkeys are, what turkeys can do, and what turkeys have. 

Turkey Craft! 

On Friday, we made some turkeys out of colorful paper. They came out fantastic! 

Math:

In math, we began a new Topic: Topic 4, Comparing Numbers 0-10. In this topic, children are learning to compare and contrast numbers within 10. Here are some math vocabulary words to talk about with your child: greater than, less than, more, fewer, number sequence, and order.

Ms. Green:

Ms. Greene is our school guidance counselor. She will be coming in our class once per week to teach students important social skills, such as determining the size of a problem and how their reaction to a problem should match the size; how to make a new friend, how to have patience etc. On Monday, we learned what a number 1, 2 and 5 size problem could be! Be sure to ask your child for some examples! 

Student Shares! 

Here are some pictures of students sharing from last week and this week. Students are continuing to do a great job when their share with their classmates! 

Birthday Shout-outs!
