Half-Way Through the Alphabet!

Only a few more days to make a big difference to Room K!  Here is the code.
If you add the code INSPIRE, at check out, your donation will be matched $1 for $1 up to $100!  I am sure if you look at the materials, you will agree that the children will love using the games and puzzles to gain confidence in language arts and math.  Thank you!

Here is Mr. M with his Munching Mouth!  We are officially in the middle of the alphabet and the children are doing so well remembering the letters, sounds, and correct printing of each symbol.  Most have begun to sound out words and thanks to our complete language arts program, are emerging organically as readers!  This week, for Speech & Language class our focus sound will be the blend /sn/. We are going to send home a short homework assignment.  Please have your child think of words that being with our focus sound.  Thanks to Antonia for our "Snacks in the Snow!"

Our science focus this week will be on magnets.  Ms. Monks will guide the children on an exploration of the properties of magnets and the children will have lots of hands on opportunities to explore.

We will continue to learn about healthy eating habits with our unit Building a Healthy Me.  The children are enjoying the workbook and are becoming aware of including something from each of the 5 food groups in every meal.  When their lunches include all 5, we say "high five!" and give them a "high five" at the lunch table.  They are quick to point
out if one of the 5 was consumed at snack time!  I hope these healthy habits carry over to your meal times at home.


We will have a Language Arts assessment and I will share the results with you.  As we transition to Common Core, the assessments are being reformulated.  This assessment will be used to guide instruction and give us an idea of the children's progress in writing.

Our math journal for December will be a review of standards taught.  We are incorporating art and games during math.  Offering many ways for children to access the curriculum in one way to keep learning fun and exciting.  Be sure to check out our Room K Donors Choose project for the great puzzles and games included.

There will be no sharing in the month of December.  It is a short month, but I also realize it is a very busy time for families.  In November we focused on family traditions and the children did a great job of sharing special traditions and in some cases, special people, with us!

We will be making latkes this
Wednesday with Farracy.  She will be reaching out to you to help provide a few things and all help is welcome!  Our party mom's will be sending out information about a special holiday party which we will have on Thursday, the 19th at 12:30.


                 Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
