This week we examined how to write a strong story beginning. We read some beginnings of picture books, and discovered that sometimes, even professional authors don't write the best beginnings, because they rely on pictures. Then, we looked at a picture, brainstormed ideas, and wrote our own story beginning.
We also learned about consonant blends th, sh, br, and ch. Our work work practice words used these sounds, as well as some of our academic words for science (light, shadow, reflection, refraction, absorb, transparent)
In math, we mostly worked on graphing this week, but today we worked on making arrays. Our art for this week was making array houses. They are coming along well.
Upcoming Dates:
October 18 - NO SCHOOL - professional day
October 19 - picture day
Friday, October 29 - Children can wear their Halloween costume if they wish. Please remember that regular masks (that cover the mouth and nose) are still required. No violent costumes please and leave accessories that are weapons - e.g. gun, swords, etc should be left at home. We will still be participating in gym so please make sure your child can move freely in their costume.
