Monthly Classroom Update – November
It has been a wonderful and productive few weeks in our classroom!
After returning from Fall Break, the children transitioned smoothly back into their classroom routines. It was wonderful to see them settle right back into their work with focus and independence. Throughout the past few weeks, they have continued receiving lessons, practicing new skills, and engaging in purposeful work across all areas of the classroom.
We also began our parent classroom observations and parent-teacher conferences. Thank you to all the families who have taken the time to visit our classroom and meet with us. We truly appreciate your involvement and continued support.
Another exciting event this month was the opening of the AZ Eagles’ Market! The children were very excited to visit, shop, and enjoy the experience. We also had the joy of celebrating Promise’s birthday together!
What We Have Been Learning
Math:
The children have been exploring a wide range of mathematical concepts and materials, including fractions, multiples, the Large Bead Frame, the distributive law, the Checkerboard, and Racks and Tubes. In geometry, we have been studying polygons, congruent and similar figures, and angles.
Language:
Our language lessons have included compound words, homographs, contractions, and parts of speech such as nouns, articles, adjectives, and verbs. We have also continued our ongoing phonics lessons to strengthen the children’s reading, spelling, and word-analysis skills.
Science and Cultural Studies:
The children have received lessons about leaves and the Story of Plants, as well as lessons using the Body Function materials. We also explored the rotation of the Earth and its effects and continued our study of human history through the Timeline of Human Beings.
It has been wonderful to watch the children’s curiosity, confidence, and independence continue to grow. We look forward to another month of learning and discovery together!
