Each week, we will be introduced to 5 new sight words. We have been practicing reciting them and finding them in books and our poems. Please practice this with me at home daily. I should be able to recognize these words quickly by November.

Our new poem this week is called "The 3 Pillars". Help me find all of this week's sight words in the poem



We have been learning about the 3 pillars of care.
1) Taking care of ourselves
2)  Taking care of others 
3) Taking care of this place

This week, our focus is on how we can take care of ourselves. Ask me to tell you all the different things I can do to take care of myself. Some examples we came up with were, exercising, eating healthy food, brushing my teeth, saying kind things to myself.



We have been learning lots of new games in gym that help build our muscle strength as well as building friendships through cooperative play. Ask me to tell you about: 4 corners, dead bug tag, and builders and bulldozers.
