January LTA 3

 

January has been quite an exciting month! We jumped back into the school routine, reviewing expectations while smoothly picking up where we left off before Christmas break. You could truly tell how happy everyone was to be back at school!

In ELA, we continued working on sight words and learned new digraphs, including er, or, ar, and ir. We read books about sounds and how our senses help us understand what we hear and see. In science, we explored our senses by discussing light and dark, what helps us when it is dark, and which parts of our bodies we use to experience our senses.

We also learned about Martin Luther King Jr. in recognition of the holiday. Students enjoyed creating crafts to prepare for Valentine’s Day. We continued to enjoy our special classes and loved getting outside, even on the colder days!

In Math, we focused on place value and practiced skip counting by 10s.

As we move into next month and begin a new quarter, we are excited to start learning about fractions and telling time. We will also dive into studying the solar system, as well as the Earth and the geography around us!

September LTA 3

  We’ve had a wonderful first month of school! The students have been busy learning all about our classroom routines, rules, and expectations. We’re also learning how to play kindly with friends, take turns, and share — all important parts of building our classroom community. In math, we’ve been working on counting and recognizing numbers, and the children are doing a fantastic job! At the end of September, we started a fun unit on apples! We explored different types of apples and shared our favorites by choosing between red, green, and yellow. In social studies and English language arts, we learned about the Constitution and talked about our rights in kid-friendly ways. We’re excited to continue our apple activities and begin exploring all the wonders of fall — including colorful leaves and pumpkins!

November LTA 3

Lots of growth this month! We are in the full swing of school and are confident in our routines and expectations. This month, we explored history—talking about jobs from the past and imagining jobs of the future. We also learned about Thanksgiving: how it began, how we celebrate it today, and the different ways families celebrate. We enjoyed making a few crafts and coloring sight words each week. We continue to work on a new digraph sound every week as well. In math, we began learning about place value by introducing ones, tens, and hundreds. We will continue to dive deeper into this concept. We have also been practicing skip counting by 10s. We’ve loved playing outside with all our Lemon Tree friends! It was wonderful having families join us for our Thanksgiving activity last week. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This coming month, we will be learning all about traditions!
