• We practiced blending short vowel words.

Math:

• We tackled the tricky teens using base 10 manipulatives.
• Students participated in centers focused on naming numbers before and after a given number, with activities like "Super Scoopers" and "How Many Patches."

Handwriting:

• We practiced making letters that begin with the "magic c" such as a, d, and o.

Science:

• We discussed the great outdoors and nearby animals.
• This week, we learned about owls and created paper tear owl projects to decorate our classroom, giving our finger muscles a workout.

Social Skills:

• We played a game called Sequence in our teacher group, focusing on strategic moves and good sportsmanship.

Art Project:

• The kids did an amazing job disguising their turkeys! They look great on our lockers, and the kids were so proud to share their work with friends.Thank you for your support in making this activity a success!

Have a wonderful weekend,
