I do apologize for delay in updating the blog, Tuesday and Thursday are my most busiest days, because of the after-school reading program, but I try my very best to update the blog as earliest possible!
-please look in your child's agenda and you will find a note regarding the Social Studies puzzle piece (THANK YOU MRS. MAYA FOR HER HARD WORK!!!)
-student pictures went home yesterday and today. If you would like a package of those photos please fill in the correct form, and include the money by NOVEMBER 13.
Today was a very interesting and fun day!! We continued with are writing test- HLATS, this was part 2 (Narrative Writing)
Part-1
Expository - We know that many young people today are not as physically active as they need to be. Every student in the school has been asked for ideas about what to do to get students to become more active and about healthier lifestyle. Students expressed their thoughts through drawing and were able to explain what they drew through verbalization.
Part-2
Narrative - You have arrived on a strange planet and suddenly you are greeted by a space alien. Describe your encounter with the space alien.
We had the Kindergarten draw a picture to plan out what they were going to say and then "scribe" to us what they were drawing. It was interesting to observe what students came-up with. Most students were unable to express their thoughts through words and sentence writing but they tried very hard to express their ideas through drawing, only few students were able to write one or two words. Most students explained what the picture is about and how they would encounter if they were approached by a space alien! The drawing and answers were amusing!!!
Social Studies:
The "name questionnaire" is due - please view the Social Studies tap under puzzle piece #1- THIS PUZZLE PIECE IS COMPLETED IN CLASS, BUT I NEED THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CHILD'S NAME
PUZZLE PIECE #2 - Due on Friday November 8- PARENTS IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PUZZLE PIECES PLEASE ASK MYSELF OR MRS. MAYA FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION PRIOR TO COMPLETING THE PUZZLE PIECE!!
MATH CORNER:
-We have completed our lesson #3 in Unit 2 (Numbers)- we played a guessing game. I had put small objects such as, cars, ball, cartoon characters, space objects, rockets, etc into a green gift bag, and I picked one student to come up and pick on item from the bag while everyone closed their eyes, and students are to "guess" what the child is hiding from them. Once students guess the item then we stay that he/she has only one item in their hand- we continue the game until number 3 - teacher physically demonstrates the number 1- with objects, using hands/fingers, toys, actually numbers
