The students had a short week of school this week! During the three days that they had school, we worked on the letter g. We also had a new popcorn word, little. We finished up our colors theme and read the stories, Goldilicious, and There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves. We read and colored a colorful leaf book according to the words in the sentences. We also practiced printing the last of the frog jump capitals, letter M. The letters F,E,D,P,B,R,N & M are all letters that start in the top corner with a big line down. Then we "frog jump" picking up our pencil to the starting point to finish the letter. Next week we will start a group of capital letters that start in the corner, but are not frog jump letters. During math we made patterns with unifix cubes. Our field trip was rescheduled to Monday, October 17th since today was too rainy. Our school also learned about Fire Safety when two firefighters came to our school from the Darien-Woodridge Fire Department on Wednesday. Have a great weekend!
