Tomorrow is our field trip to Adam's Apple Orchard in Williston Vermont. We will be leaving between 7:45-8:00. If you are chaperoning, you can meet us up there or meet in the classroom and then carpool up with others. Prepping for the trip tonight. Your child should empty out their backpacks with the exception of their homework bag and a lunch and/or snack for tomorrow (for those who didn't order a school one). Each child will be getting a small bag of apples and I will have them put the bag in their backpacks so that they don't go rolling all over the bus. Please have your child dress accordingly (weather). Over the last two days we have been working on illustrating our classroom rules. The students are identifying ways in which they can follow the rules that the class developed as a group. They will be sharing their work during out morning meeting on Thursday and then bringing them home to share with you. Our new classroom rules are: Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Focused, and Be Kind. I love how broad they are yet very effective in the day to day situations that occur in our room and the school.
First grade math students have been working on measuring with popsicle sticks and finding missing addends in equations with missing parts. They have been number detectives, while using clues they have been given to find the missing addend on a number rack.
NOTES:
*I received a few requests and will put out an October book order. It appears that a few missed the deadline but would like to order.
*The books your child ordered for this months offering have been sent home in your child's bag. Please look for them.
That is all for now. Have a great week.
Peace,
Mr. Young
