Good morning Room 115 Families!
I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! We are off to a great start this Monday morning and I am very excited for this week! As a reminder, this Thursday, September 22nd is picture day! Please see the Bobcat Bulletin if you have misplaced your form or if you have not signed up yet and would like to for pictures! This week in literacy we are going to begin looking at nonfiction texts! We will be learning the different parts of a nonfiction book. We will also begin to learn how to do research and note taking. In math, we are going to start our Lego math project. We will be using legos as our manipulative to see the value of the number. This will help show students how numbers look and how we then put the values together to add. Last Week: In foundational skills we worked on our grip on how to hold a crayon or pencil. We practiced horizontal and vertical lines to help prepare us for letter writing and letter formations. In literacy, we continued to practice the different story elements. We made a venn diagram to learn how to compare and contrast two books and we wrote about one of our favorite characters in the book and focused on the setting in which they live. In math, we continued to work on sequencing and beginning adding. Important Information: 1. Early release Friday 2. No school Monday 3. Innovation Learning Clubs begin this week. If you need a new transportation form for your students black folder, please let me know! I can send one home for you and your student to update. 3. Student Success Block begins this week. Your student will be working with myself, Ms. Tepper or Miss Smith for literacy or math. This will be 30 minutes everyday. The goal is to meet your students where they are at with their learning in the subject and expand on it! We are very excited to begin it. You may hear your students call it SSB for short!

Hi Room 115 Families,
It was so nice to see almost all of you at Open House yesterday! I am so excited for the year ahead! In addition to MAP testing, this week we worked on 1:1 counting of objects to ten, different ways we can add within ten, writing our numbers and sequencing numbers. In literacy, we worked on identifying the characters in a book, the setting, and what the problem and solutions are. We also spent a lot of time working on our classroom community talking about being bucketfillers, having a growth mindset and the power of yet! Below are some updates on drills we will be having, ordering scholastic books and important reminders! Scholastic Books: I will be putting in our first scholastic order for books this year!
