- These are the sight words we practiced this week:
- away
- back
- be
- Look for these words in the books you read together.
- In math, we worked on sorting our pumpkins from largest to smallest. Thank you again for all of the donations!
- We talked about the different ways that pumpkins could be measured. We used the non-standard unit of unifix cubes to measure the height, weight and circumference of our pumpkins.
- Ask your child to share what it means to measure the height of a pumpkin. Ask them to tell why the yarn was a useful tool to measure the circumference.
- We also worked on counting the seeds in our pumpkin. Thank you again to the lovely volunteers who made this possible.
- Here were the final numbers for the pumpkin seeds:
- The numbers in black squares were our estimates and the numbers in red were the actual number of seeds. Ask your child to consider why it helped to make groups of ten when trying to count how many seeds were in a pumpkin.
- We tried the pumpkin cookies at snack time on Thursday. Ask your child to share what they thought of the cookie. Many described it as "chewy" and "like a cake".
Classroom Updates:
