 Happy Birthday!  Happy Birthday friend- We love you!  Make a Hypothesis  Students were to make a  hypothesis (a guess) on what would happen to the leaves in a jar full of colored water. Students were checking on it through the day and week. Ask your child what happened.  Sorting  AM students were to sort leaves by color.   PM students were to sort the leaves by color, size, and details.  Home Activity: Sort with your child. You can sort their toys together by size, color, and details.  Tree Art  Teachers traced the students hand and arm to make the base of the tree. Then students were to finger paint leaves on the tree.  Roll A Leaf Game  Students were to roll the dice to play a board game. Students then had to move where the dice told them.  During Free Choice, students LOVE playing HI-HO Cheerio.  Home Activity: Play board games at your house. There are so many life skills they learn- taking turns, staying calm, matching.  Handwriting  In their handwriting book, students were to tra

Lines and Curves are what makes the letters. We are getting closer to writing letters.  Escritura a mano- ¡LÍNEAS! Los estudiantes están trabajando en escribir líneas y curvas en su libro de escritura a mano. Las líneas y las curvas son las que forman las letras. Nos estamos acercando a escribir cartas. Workers are School  Find those doors! Students went on a hunt to find doors around the school.  What are behind those doors in a school? Classrooms, teachers, students, the lunchroom., and more. When coming back into the room, we counted each groups tally marks to see which group found the most doors.  Ask your chil

 Social Bugs- Sharing  Students learned that they need to share our toys. When we share our toys we need to pass them kindly to the friend next to us and not throw them at our friends.  Errores sociales: compartir Los estudiantes aprendieron que necesitan compartir nuestros juguetes. Cuando compartimos nuestros juguetes, debemos pasárselos amablemente al amigo que está a nuestro lado y no arrojárselos a nuestros amigos. Tucker Turtle  I read a book about Tucker Turtle to students. Tucker would get mad when things happened and he would hit, kick, scream, and more to his friends. Tucker showed students a new way how to calm down. You STOP, TAKE 3 DEEP BREATHS, and think of a solution. This is an awesome way on how to solve problems.  Home Activity: Read the Tucker Turtle book at home- when your child gets mad or upset go through the Tucker Turtle steps.  https://challengingbehavior.cbcs.usf.edu/docs/TuckerTurtle_Story.pdf Tortuga Tucker Leí un libro sobre Tucker Turtle a los estudiantes.

 Social Bug    The first social skill preschoolers are learning is how to get someones attention. Instead of yelling their name across the room. The student will walk over, tap their friend's shoulder, look at their eyes, and say their name. If the child is trying to get an adults attention- students should tap on the adults hip. This is such an important life skill because during their academic career and into the job force- people need to know not the shout across the room :)  La primera habilidad social que están aprendiendo los niños en edad preescolar es cómo llamar la atención de alguien. En lugar de gritar su nombre al otro lado de la habitación. El estudiante se acercará, tocará el hombro de su amigo, lo mirará a los ojos y dirá su nombre. Si el niño está tratando de llamar la atención de un adulto, los estudiantes deben dar golpecitos en la cadera del adulto. Esta es una habilidad de vida tan importante porque durante su carrera académica y en la fuerza laboral, la gente n
