October Fun!

Last week we worked on the letter S. Next week we will be doing the letter P. The children really enjoyed our Science lesson this week. From now on, I will be teaching 1-2 Science lessons a week. We will be exploring the 5 senses in greater detail. If you are looking for more ways to help your child at home, I suggest practicing oral counting 1-100.

Working with 10's frames.

We have been doing a lot of graphing. It involves sorting, counting and using a graph. We also are learning Math terms such more than, less than and equal.

We make time to enjoy the weather and play with our friends.

Graphing Skittles!

Making shape pumpkins. We are practicing naming and drawing 2D shapes such as triangles, circles, squares, ovals, rectangles, diamonds/ rhombus, and hexagon.

Popcorn! We began our 5 Sense Unit by using our 5 senses to explore popcorn.

Working on our Science papers.

Sight Word Rings will be going home in your child's Reading Practice Packet very soon. Please help your child master these words. I have only attached the words that we have worked on so far. I will be adding more words as the year goes on. Thank you!

The Fire Department

Surprise! We surprised the Kindergarten students today with a visit from the Bedford Fire Department! They taught us about fire safety. They also showed us their firefighter gear, the jaws of life, and the sirens! We even got to go inside the firetruck! The kids learned a lot about fire safety today. Ask your child what they learned!

All 4 classes enjoyed the visit!

Lunch and Specials

The school does not print paper copies of the specials schedule or the lunch menu. We have gone green! I have attached 2 pictures that should help you locate these items on the MRE website! I hope this helps!
