We'll have a fun fall celebration the last week of October! Feel free to send kids in costume!
Although we are going to try to avoid sweets, feel free to bring in any healthy snack that you'd like to share with the class! (cheese/crackers, fruit, veggies, etc) We have a LOT of food allergies/sensitivities, but these safe foods will be fun and festive!
PLEASE put your name or initials on the tag of your Freebird Farm Hoodie, if you have one! They all look the same, and I can't tell whose are whose when left behind!
Farm Fusion
- Your stories have been wonderful! Keep up the good work!
- For this week, here are some ideas to spark your imagination-
- We talked about different types of trees and leaves in class. Write a story that involves tree, falling leaves, nature walks, leaf piles, etc.
- Write a story about all of the cats on the farm. (Ruff-Nut, Tuff-Nut, Mrs. Chippy, and Simon.) You can write it as a story OR as a comic!
- Write a story about the family of guineas that wanders the farm. :-)
- We made a Venn diagram during class to compare and contrast two different animals on the farm. Make a new Venn diagram to compare and contrast two things if your choice!
Handwriting (by initials)
WR - practice cursive letters a, g, d, and c. Work on connecting them in different ways, even if they don't make real words. ;-)
AR- practice words such as that, hatch, chat, tag, had, cat, and That. Also, work on lowercase cursive f.
ES and TH- Work on upper and lowercase cursive F. Practice words such as felt, face, and fact.
BH, EB, and AL- Practice words with lowercase t. Make sure your t is tall! It should touch the top line. Also, make sure your lower case a starts at the middle line and not the bottom! Work on words such as act, coast, too, toss, and scoot.
SW, HF, SP, MM, & AZ - work on writing the following words (or any combinations of letters that we've worked on so far!) cap, gap, catch, pat, path, patch, hag
IB- Practice cursive lowercase h (remember to drop all the way down and give it two "legs"!). Then, work on writing the following words (or any combinations of letters that we've worked on so far!) cap, gap, catch, pat, path, patch, hag
EP, SH, KK, TT, KD, TS, & BM - keep working on letters that start like the letter "c". Practice making words that contain the letters a, c, d, g, and q. Here is a sheet that you can use!
Science/Geography/Social Studies
- If you did not complete it in your class, work on the map activity in your folder. Click here if you need a copy! (I also included the sheet from our in-class nature walk for anyone who missed class and would like to do it at home!)
- Watch the Brainpop video about the compass rose.
- Here is a song about direction!
- We talked a lot about leaves in class. Here is a song about autumn!
In class, we are learning skip counting songs! We've learned the 2's and 3's so far. Practice them at home. We'll work on them throughout the year. (I'll keep the link at the top of this site!)
Parents, although you are working on math at home, I would love to give supplemental, fun math lessons/games in class. In class, we played an addition (subtraction for some) card game. See if your child can show you how to play!
