The air seems to be getting a crisp autumn smell that is telling us snowfall is just around the corner and we will soon be in stick season here in VT.
On Wednesday afternoon we ventured out for our first ECO (Educating Children Outdoors) time aka Woodsy Wednesday! This will be a time when we will be noticing the world around us through observation, games, books, songs, and exploring time. Being in the outdoors allows for curiosity and creativity to flow naturally. We will plan to go out in all sorts of weather so please help your child come prepared for this.
In Science, we began talking about plants- particularly pumpkins and their needs. We ended our week with some tasty pumpkin pie! This week we were fortunate to extend our Organisms unit into an Integrated Arts session. Students chose a VT animal that they wanted to create out of clay. We did some research on these animals and shared our findings with the class. Next week they will create a habitat that will best suit their needs for survival.
Math we played games called grab and count, filled in our counting book, and completed some matching numbers and pictures activities.
Literacy we continued to practice new letters. This week's letters were: Nn, Ee, Bb, Cc, Jj. Students continue to enjoy stations where they are practicing letter recognition, letter formation, and letter sounds. We added the word "go" to our word wall that houses all our high-frequency words - words that we see frequently in our books. So far we have: I, a, see, and go.
Looking forward to another great week next week! 🧡
