Week in Review:
Sneak Preview
This week we met Nellie Nurse and Marvin Monkey. We worked hard in our guided reading groups using leveled books from our book room to begin our reading! We wrote about our trip to Fulton Farms and discovered the scientific process as we discussed sinking and floating. We learned science words like “hypothesis”. Can you believe the pumpkin floats because it is less dense than water? We continued to sort and graph using M&Ms, worked on numbers, and had a fire safety presentation. We loved our trip to Fulton Farms! Thank you to Tipp Foundation for funding our trip! Thank you also to all volunteers who joined us!

Things to Practice
Number Counting- as you are walking or riding in the car count as many pumpkins as you see!
Sorting/ Graphing- create a graph with candy from trick or treat night and see what you have the most and least of.
Writing- Stretch out the sounds of words. Try to hear beginning, middle, and ending sounds.
Write letters and numbers in sand, pudding, applesauce, shaving cream.
Continue practicing the letters that we have learned by finding things in the house that start with that letter. F, E, D, P, B, R, N, M.
Go through the rainbow words once a day. (me, my, for, of, do, are, I, like, said, can, the, a, it, we)
Keep practicing name writing every day.
