We're Off to A Great Start!

Hello Families!
We have a few different areas of focus this month…
  • In literacy skills, we are working on creative writing pieces as well as elaborating on our writing. In addition to composing paragraphs about various real-life subjects in our writing journals every day, we also write to thematic writing prompts. 
  • In math skills, we’ve been working on identifying fractions using visual representations, including manipulatives and pictures.
  • In science, we’ve been focusing on space science, including creating Powerpoint projects on our favorite planet in the solar system. We will be researching our planet, collecting information and pictures, learning how to cite our sources of information, and practicing our typing skills. Then in a few weeks we will present our projects to the rest of the class! J
  • In life skills, we’ve started our school-wide recycling program, which we use the profits from in order to supplement our weekly cooking budget for our Friday cooking lesson. We have plans to make cheese quesadillas, bagel pizzas, and homemade applesauce with leftover apples from our school breakfasts in the next few weeks. Yum!
Here is our weekly schedule of activities:
Monday- Recycling
Tuesday- Speech Group
Wednesday- Recycling
Thursday- Shopping
Friday- Library and Cooking
