Hi families!

We had a wonderful red ribbon week at Wellington.  Here are some pictures from our special guests today during our assembly.

We have a great week coming up at Wellington.  On Tuesday we will be having a Story book Character day where students can dress up as their favorite storybook character.  

Our Junie B Jones Jamboree is also tomorrow (Tuesday).  We are celebrating the books we have been reading with some fun activities.  If you have any small pumpkins you would be able to donate to our class - we are still 13 pumpkins short for all students to have for our afternoon pumpkin investigation.  We will be measuring, determining if they sink or float, and making estimations about our pumpkins.  This is a fun afternoon of learning for our students!  Thank you all for your help in preparing for this day!

Spelling words:

fast

past

who

Sight words:

Thank you!  Have a wonderful week!

Happy Monday families!

We're back at it today and learning so much!  In Language this week we are beginning to focus on singular and plural nouns.  For comprehension we're focusing on retelling our stories with partners and will later in the week write about what we have read.  In phonics our skill is short 'u' this week.  We are beginning a new writing piece soon about our opinion.

In math our focus is on using commutative property.  Today we used a balance to make both sides of our equations equal.

Last week we had fun using what we had learned about community helpers and made cut outs of our faces to show what we want to be!

 

 

 

Don't forget it is Red Ribbon Week.  Here is the schedule for the rest of the week:
Tuesday - Wear socks - Sock it to Drugs

Wednesday - Slippers - Don't slip into drugs. (Please bring slippers to change in to)

Thursday - pajamas! - Don't get comfortable with drugs!

Friday - wear red day! 

Our spelling words this week are:

of

live

Next Tuesday (October 31) will be book character day.  Please note the hand out in folders today for ideas.  We are also celebrating the books we have read so far about Junie B Jones with a fun Jamboree celebration!  We have centers planned for the morning where students will explore activities to help with what they have learned about in reading these fun books in class.
Tuesday afternoon we will be doing a pumpkin investigation.  

If you would like to help our class with some supplies for these fun events - there is a link HERE with some things our class will need for this exciting day!

Good afternoon families!

In comprehension we are working on retelling our story.  When students read their baggie books at night, ask them what happened in the beginning, middle and end of their story to help their comprehension of the story.


In language we're talking about nouns and will finish our week by creating Noun Town to share in the hallway.




Weekly reminders:

Pictures are tomorrow!  Dress your best and show beautiful smiles!

Fall festival is FRIDAY!  It is a fun night for all families!  I hope everyone can attend.




Next Week is Red Ribbon Week - there is information in folders about the events for each day.
We are celebrating Story Book Character day on October 31.  Students are encouraged to dress as their favorite character to celebrate.  That day (October 31) will also be our Junie B. Jamboree!



I have some events planned for the students and will send our  a volunteer spot shortly to ask for help from families.  In the afternoon we will be doing a pumpkin investigation and I'll be asking for donations of SMALL pumpkins - picture will be included.



Please check email for the volunteer spot information for that fun event!

Have a wonderful week!
