Fall and Thanksgiving are in the air

We have finished our fall unit and are now focusing on Thanksgiving.  This is a time where we learn to be thankful for what is around us.  Our families, grandma and grandpa, our sisters and brothers and all the yummy food at Thanksgiving we will eat.

In our math unit we have finished our unit on location words!  Our study is now learning the differences regarding measurement.  Specifically we will learn about height, length and width.  We will focus our study on big and small and short and tall.  See if your child can follow your directions and understand the differences of size.  Remember that our Ready Rosie is a great way to access information regarding our curriculum and that you can focus on these same skills at home!

Picture retakes is right around the corner.  If for some reason you do not like the photo a new one can be taken on Tuesday November 15, 2016.

ECS Multi-Cultural Night is coming soon!  This is a fun way to get to learn about other cultures!  Some people come dressed in decorate clothing and others share their culture and food.  What a yummy time to get together.

In motorlab we are now working on our new stations.  We are learning to use our gross motor skills to hit a ball with a foam paddle; and we are working on running and putting together a big gingerbread house.  We are learning to stomp and jump with two feet together and we are learning how to use a scooter board and scoot with our legs forwards and backwards.  We are also working on fine motor skills and using our pincer grasp to put things “on, in and under” using our location words from math that we just learned.
