November 15, 2013

Hi Fish Families!

The SMS Safe program is participating in a coat drive until 11/26. If you have any gently used coats that aren't being used at home, please consider donating them.

Here is a glimpse of our week in the fish classroom:

Language Arts: The children learned about the superstar u this week. We continue to sound out CVC words at morning meeting. Our shared reading book was The Tree House by Joy Cowley. We learned about ending punctuation. The children know that a period is like a stop sign for readers. It is where we take a breath before reading more. The class wrote and illustrated a version of the book.

Math: We have been practicing counting beyond 25 and proper formation of the numbers 0-9.  The children continue to play Monster Squeeze using the app by McGraw-Hill. I have linked the website version to our blog (student resource section).

Social Thinking: This week we practiced using our faces and bodies to express emotion. The children did some role playing and practiced guessing the emotions. We talked about how unexpected behaviors can cause people to have uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.

Visual Arts: We have been busy painting and making turkeys this week.
