This week my new teacher aide started. The kids may have mentioned Ms. Marissa. Ms. Marissa will be our new classroom aide. You may have seen her around Franklin as her daughter is a student in the elementary school. Not only does Ms. Marissa have experience as a mom but she also knows about Franklin as a school and has worked in childcare in the past. I welcome her into our classroom!
This week the kids did many things! Some of the things they learned about include:
Sight, sound and word recognition for the letter C
Number 1
Sorting by attributes. Things that are the same but different and counting objects.
Farm animals
City vs. country-compare/contrast
Little Boy Blue nursery rhyme
Christopher Columbus
-sailed with 3 ships a long time ago to look for land
-found land/America-where we live
-explored a globe and what it is
-discover means to find something
-earth is the planet we live on, Columbus sailed the world (earth)
Other skills:
-cutting/pasting
-matching
-counting & representation of what they counted
-free creative art

**many of my students are holding thier writing materials incorrectly. Please give opportunity at home to color/draw/write and correct how they are holding their writing instrument. With correction and exposure they will acquire the skill**
