Hello Families and Friends!

Last week we finished our unit on frogs & butterflies by learning about the frog life cycle. We completed a vocabulary page, made a life cycle wheel, sorted by stages of the life cycle, completed an adapted book and did a comprehension check-in! All of the students have been busy learning!


      
  






We read the Scholastic News article Up, Up, Up! and learned about different objects that go up when there's wind like kites, seeds, hats and umbrellas! We were able to incorporate the past core word "up" while working. Students participated with switches, communication devices, static boards and pictures. 

  
      


Reminders and Important Dates!
  • Thursday, April 11 from 5:30-7:30- LaPerche 50th Celebration!
    • If you're interested, this is an event for students and their families. Families travel around the school to visit different classrooms to see projects that the various grade levels completed to recognize the 50th celebration. Our classroom made a giant map of the school and students took turns asking all of the teachers their names and how long they've been teaching at LaPerche. The students then made graphs to compare their grade level teachers and itinerant teachers to see who has been teaching at LaPerche the longest!
  • Wednesday April 24th Spring Pictures are being taken if you're interested!


Have a great day!
Miss Feeley

The Butterfly Life Cycle

Hello Families and Friends! Last week we read about the butterfly life cycle! We read a story, completed a vocabulary activity, then sorted butterflies, cocoons and caterpillars, made a life cycle wheel, an adapted book and then did a comprehension check-in. The students did an excellent job learning about this new information.                   We also completed a Scholastic News article "When a Rainbow Shines". The students were very engaged in the article and used their individualized communication boards and systems to be able to identify the two things needed to make a rainbow: water & sun. Some friends used objects while learning to represent the sun, water and rainbows!       Reminders:  Thursday March 21st the school will be celebrating World Down Syndrome Day! We are celebrating our friend Tyler by wearing crazy socks and showing our love, support and...

Pumpkin Fun!

Image
  Hello Families! We had an awesome week and started our pumpkin unit in celebration of Halloween! We read a story all about pumpkins and learned when they grow, who grows them and the different parts of a pumpkin. Together we did a vocabulary activity, sorting activity, counting book, explored the inside of a pumpkin and did a fun craft together! They all loved being able to explore the different sized pumpkins while we read to make real life connections to our book! Below our friends are working on sorting by size, color and their vocabulary pages! They did a great job with their counting book- we practiced following one step directions, 1:1 correspondence, number ID, writing numbers, cutting and gluing.  On Wednesday we explored the inside of a pumpkin! Everyone explored the pulp and seeds. Some friends enjoyed the different textures while others didn't, however everyone did a great job quickly exploring and touching.  We used the seeds from our pumpkin to create a fun...

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves!

Hello Families! This week we read the story "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves". I created our own "old lady" to feed the different objects to. The students practiced identifying vocabulary, working on the core word "in", and following simple one step directions. We completed our vocabulary activity, made our own adapted book and completed an emergent reader about leaves to connect with our story.    On Monday there was a fire safety assembly and we were able to see a real fire truck too! We've officially started our classroom jobs! These are done daily, each child has the same job for the whole week so that they can master that specific skill set before moving onto the next job. Here's our hard workers in action!! To wrap up our fun Friday, we did a Scholastic News titled "Cooking Up Safety". It was about being safe around hot objects. It was a great lesson for life skills to learn what is safe or not safe to touch.  Next w...
