Stop, Drop and Roll!
Dear Parents,
This week was great!
We learned about the up-
percase and lowercase let-
ter R. We practiced the
letter R sound and brain-
stormed lots of words that
begin with R. Our popcorn
word this week was go. So
far your child should recog-
nize the popcorn words A,
I, is, my, the and go.
Please make sure to review
these words at home. It is
very important for begin-
ning readers to recognize
basic sight words.
In math we have been
learning about five groups.
The students are beginning
to recognize the numbers 6,
7, 8, 9, and 10 as a group of
five and additional ones.
For example 6= 5 +1. They
are catching on quickly!
October is Fire Safety
month. We had two fire-
fighters visit us today to
teach us about fire safety.
The students were able to

go outside and take a tour of
a real fire truck! They
learned all about the truck
and what each tool is used
for during a fire. We will
continue to learn more about
fire safety for the remain-
der of the month.
In Writers Workshop we
have been talking a lot about
labeling. We are labeling
different items in our pic-
tures, as well as peoples
names. The students labeled
the parts of a fire truck this
week.
Our learning stations
were all fire related this
week. The students really
enjoyed them! We still need
more parent volunteers for
learning stations. If you
would like to sign up, please
follow the link on my website.
Grandparents are welcome to
sign up too!
In science, we learned
about creating a model and
planning out an experiment.
Yesterday the students drew
a model of a tower made
from blocks. Today they Volume 1, Issue 7
tested out their models by
having a friend build the
Friday,
tower using their pictures October 20, 2017
as a reference.
We started an Early
Finishers Tub this week.
The students are really en-
Upcoming Events
joying it. If they are fin-
ished with their work early, *October 31 Halloween
they can grab an activity to Parade/Party at 1:45
work on. There are things
*November 7 No School
such as letter matching,
math games, rhyming cards, *November 22-24 No
writing popcorn words on School-Thanksgiving
magna doodles, etc. Its
been a big hit and keeps
them learning at all times!
Our class Halloween
party will be held on Tues-
day, October 31st. We will
have a school wide parade at
1:45. Please follow the sign
up genius link that I sent
out previously to help out at
our Halloween Party, which
will immediately follow the
parade.
Have a great weekend!
