Classroom Updates for October, K-2

Kindergarten – Kindergarteners are adjusting to their school schedules and making friends. Reading has focused on letters; cC, mM and bB and their sounds. Our Sight Word list grows weekly and includes color words. We have begun our Fabric Science Unit. In Math we are working on counting skills, writing numerals and sorting objects by color, shape and size. We have also investigated the concept of patterns.

1st Grade – On September 18, the 1st graders took their annual trip to the Puyallup Fair. Most of the time was spent at the Fair Petting Farm, fishing for trout, and seeing a variety of animals. The 1,075 lb. pumpkin was awesome!

2nd Grade – In Math, we are working on skip counting, sequencing and place value. In Reading, we have started reading groups and expect great progress. We will begin the Balancing and Weighing Science kit and the First Move Chess program by early October.
