News for October 8
This week the morning students went to their first assembly in the gym. It was to launch the school's QSP fundraising event. The selling of magazine subscriptions helps to raise money for our school.
Every child had instruction at the "teacher table" this week on how to properly (and safely) use scissors.
Students exercised the small muscles in their hands by using their "pinchy fingers" (the thumb and pointer fingers) to manipulate and count coloured pom poms.
We continued to talk about fall and the changes that happen outside during this season. We now have a tree of our own inside the class that we will cover with leaves in the fall colours. We also learned about the holiday of Thanksgiving. We began to create a new class book, "Thanks for..." by writing down what each student is thankful for this time of year.
We practised our new song about popcorn and one about swimming.
I've included a photo of my pet cat "Iggy" sitting in my teacher basket. This is where the students put their name cards at the beginning of the day, as well as, any papers from home that are for me.
As always, to read more about the books we read together this week, please visit our book blog at:
