It has been a fantastic first full week of school here in Room 105! It is a wonderful group of children who all seem excited to learn. They have all been doing a great job of learning the many new routines!

Math:

This week the children have been working on noticing embedded numbers. For example, when looking at a group of 5 objects, they may notice a smaller group of 3 objects within the set and another group of 2 objects, that together make the total of 5 objects. They then put the two parts, which in this case are 3 and 2, into a number bond, along with the total of 5.

At the beginning of each new Math topic, I will send home a page called Math Tips for Parents. These pages contain valuable information on the concepts that your children are learning.

Share:

Today I sent home the October Share notice for each child. Every child will have a day each month to share an item with classmates. Your child will be asked who, what, where, when, why and how questions about the share so please help her be ready to answer them. It is an important way for the children to learn about each other and making meaningful connections. Sharing is an important part of our daily Morning Meeting. Thank you for your help with this!
