WInd Turbines and Thankfulness!

 We are so excited to continue to learn about how wind turbines work and the benefits for our planet.  We started with some simple predictions about different items that a simple fan would move and learning a bit about inertia.  We are ready to continue to question and explore our ideas.  If your family has books or any knowledge to share with us, we are open to guests coming to the classroom to be a part of our learning.  I am definitely not an expert on wind turbines.  ;)  

Since it's the month of November, we will continue learning about what we are thankful for and giving all glory to God!  I love our discussions about what and who we are thankful for in our lives.  Your children are so precious. 

This week we will focus on the letters K(didn't get that one finished last week), P, U and B.  

Enjoy working on disguising your turkeys together and bring them back to school whenever you are finished.  We will display them and then the students can take them home after their conference time.

Goodbye October!

I'm thankful that October is almost over...I have never been a fan of Halloween, but will always make it fun for the students.  :)  

We are learning so much and I could not be more proud or excited to continue to watch this class learn and love.  Each and every day, I am amazed by these beautiful students.  

I have not been remembering to put the letter of the day on the door and I am really going to try harder.  Each day, the students are excited to learn a new letter.  This week, we did M,L,H and T.   Next week will be I,J,K and P.  We teach both the uppercase and lowercase letters, but focus on writing uppercase, as they are easier to form.  When your child has mastered their name in uppercase, we will begin writing with only the first letter uppercase.  

We finished up with all of our fall state assessments, and we look forward to sharing these with you during our conference time.  

This month, we will focus on being thankful.  I think a windmill unit study will be next for this class.  I will keep you posted. 

Have a blessed weekend.
