The week of November 9
I want to welcome Maura Goesch our student teacher from Mount Mary
College. She will be with us for the next nine weeks and we are excited to
have her in our class. Ms. Goesch has only been with us a week and
already has a wonderful rapport with the children.
We have finished our second set of letter sounds and the children have
brought home their sound book and the second list of words for blending.
We have gone over the list in small groups and everyone did a great
job. A third list will be coming home soon. Please take the time to have
your child sound out the words and even try writing them for you. We'll start
our next set of six letters later this week.
In math we continue to work on number sets 5-10. We are looking at money
recognizing the nickel as a set of 5 and adding pennies to create different
combinations to ten.
We have finished talking turkey. Ask your child what they have learned,
like where they sleep and what the baby turkeys are called. Did you know
that Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird? I'm glad we
went with the Bald Eagle. This week we will talk about the Pilgrims journey
and how different life was back then and compare it to how we live.
The Halloween Party was a great success, I am only sorry that I was home
sick and had to miss it. Within the next day or so I will get our class group
shot down loaded. A big THANK YOU to Mrs. Campbell for giving everyone a
group shot and a photo of their child in costume.
