Autumn Days

 We had such a great week!  We held our first Spirit Week of the year.  The children seemed to have enjoyed the themes for the days.  There were many smiling faces throughout the week.  Our student council did much of the planning for it.  

Here are some moments that were captured:

Many of the teachers participated as well, Western Wednesday was the best!

Wonders:

With all the fun we had with Spirit Week, we continued with our curriculum and learning,  The children read The Ant and the Grasshopper and worked on main idea and summarizing in the Reading/Writing Companion book.  We also worked on our new set of vocabulary words.

Writing:

The children have been working on Narratives and continued with them during the week.  They were given writing prompts and turned them into stories.  We are still working on these.

We are continuing along with multiplication patterns as we begin the new unit.

We are continuing with learning about our state.  We are working on research of the Native American tribes of RI

Upcoming Events:
