What a fantastic week of learning our First Graders had! A special thank you goes out to the Farr Family for donating vines, flowers, pumpkins, squash and corn from their farm! Hands-on learning is a vital part of our instruction. This made our study of the pumpkin life cycle so exciting!
FRIDAY LETTERS ARE COMING HOME!
Today our learners wrote their first Friday Letters to their families. These letters tell a little snippet about our week. They are a great way for families to learn more about our week and watch our learners progress as writers throughout the year. Sometimes our Friday Letters might be a bit tough to read. If you can't read your child's letter, just ask them to tell you about their week. Please write a note back to them, they love to read your letters! Help your learner remember to return the notebook by next Friday so they can write back to you.
Here are a few other things about our week:
We explored the pumpkin life cycle
Worked on vowel sounds in CVC words
We added the sight words - that, to, one, are, you
