Happenings

Fall

We have had a WONDERFUL

beginning to our school year.

We enjoyed meeting everyone at our

Naubuc School Open House!

Language Arts

The children have been working on letter formation; capitalization; spacing; and punctuation. They have been working with descriptive stories in their writing journals. We have been emphasizing writing in complete sentences. They have also been working on expanding their ideas by adding details.

The children have been actively engaged in reading. They have been self-selecting literature for quiet reading and are working well in their guided reading groups.

Math

The children have begun working in our Everyday Math program. They have been involved in a variety of activities and games using abstract reasoning skills. We have been working on the concepts of numeral formation; counting; money; temperature; one more, one less; and tally marks. We will be working on telling time; exploring lengths; addition and subtraction; and even and odd. The children will be introduced to the use of math boxes; frames and arrows and the calculator.

Many thanks to ALL of you who come

into our classrooms to volunteer.

We are so grateful for your help!!!

Reminder: The children go out for recess twice daily (weather permitting). Please have your child bring a jacket every day. Also, so they can play safely, they need to wear appropriate shoes for the playscape – no sandals or higher-heeled shoes please. Sneakers or rubber soled shoes work best.

Thanks!
