Hi all,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope your week has been blessed and productive! This week has been going very well so far, the class has been behaving wonderfully and is consistently meeting expectations and following the rules. It took some time, but I truly feel like we\u2019ve found our rhythm and are working beautifully together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Math:
We\u2019ve started a new unit all about shapes! This week, we\u2019re focusing on the triangle, rectangle, square, circle, and hexagon. We\u2019re learning to recognize each shape and count their sides and corners. Soon, we\u2019ll begin exploring shape patterns and discussing the rules that patterns follow. This unit focuses on two-dimensional shapes, and we\u2019ll move on to three-dimensional shapes once we finish this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handwriting:
This week we\u2019re working on the letters Qq, Jj, and Gg. The students have been doing a great job, especially since these letters can be a bit tricky due to their different lines and curves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science:
We are continuing our discussions about motion, position, and how things move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Studies:
We are learning about Native American tribes and groups and exploring how they lived and worked together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Notes:
As the weather gets colder, please make sure your child comes prepared with a warm jacket, hat, and gloves. Per school policy, we will continue to have outdoor recess unless the temperature drops below 15\u00b0F or there is a wind chill of 0\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
