As part of our Daily LA, we listen to reading on Epic Books. Having a pair of headphones can reduce the noise and help us all focus. If you have a spare pair of headphones or earbuds, please send it (with a label) to school with your child and we will keep them safe in their cubby.
Art Cards
We have begun the process of creating our individual art cards. We look forward to sharing more photos next week
Artist In Residence
It is Ms. Sharon's last week next week. We continue our learning about Peter H. Reynolds and thick/thin/broken and continuous lines. We will share more week next week.
Book Order
Parents if you are interested in ordering but do not have 40.00 to get free shipping, please let Mrs. Green know. I can order from the school this way you are not getting charged shipping.
Math
We have begun exploring quantities in a variety of ways including numerals, pictures, base 10 and 10 frames. Grade 1s are working within numbers to 100 and Grade 2s are working within numbers to 1000. Our learning will continue over the next couple of weeks, challenging us to represent numbers in even more ways - number lines, expanded form, number bonds and more! These are some of the Montessori Materials we have explored so far - more pictures to come :)
Language Arts
We are almost done learning all of the letters in the alphabet! This week we focused on letters R, N,G,D,O,B, and G. In our journals, we practiced brainstorming words, drawing pictures and fearless spelling! We also started using some new Montessori materials, focusing on language, that we can use during Daily LA and as a Responsible Work Choices. Ask your child about the materials they like to use and/or the actions we have learned for each of the letters so far!
Social Studies
As part of our Social Studies curriculum, students will be exploring their sense of identity within their different communities. To start this work, we will be sharing about ourselves and our ancestors. Thank you for taking the time to fill out the Questionnaire with your child. We are all so excited to learn more about ourselves and each other in Room 10.

Science
Oh, happy Fall! We have been SO lucky for this amazing, sunny and warm start of the school year. After listening to the story Leaf Man we were inspired to create our own Leaf Creature. They gathered leaves, sticks and a variety of other loose parts from nature to create an individual leaf creature. They used a graphic organizer with frame sentences to write about their leaf creature. Ask me about my work.
