Good morning families. At school, Fridays are always an extra special fun day. I hope you have a fun day as well. 

It is a chilly morning but hopefully you can enjoy some outside time today.

I am posting a link to a video from SciShow Kids: The Science of Fall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB2DiiAOpCg Watch this video and talk about 2-3 things you learned from watching. When you're outside today look for squirrels. They will be getting ready for winter now.

Choose a writing page from your packet or a blank piece of paper and choose a topic to write about. Maybe your weekend plans. Your favourite season or your family. Something you know a lot about and that matters to you. Add details and colour. Label your picture or write a sentence to tell about your picture.

Watch the story book "The Leaf Thief". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvGNwqVjBBM Do you remember me reading this story? I loved it. Today, I want you to talk about what happened at the beginning, middle and end of this book.

Review letters and sounds. For those of you working on sight words please review those.

For Math time, play "What Did You Roll" from your packet. After the game practice what comes before and after. Roll the dice and name the number that comes before and after the number you rolled. For example: if you roll a 4 then you would say 3 comes before 4 and 5 comes after 4. The concept of "before" can be tricky for little ones. I usually prompt them with these words: "when you're counting, what do you say before 4?"

Play a Card game or another dice game today. Or visit ABCya again and play any of the number games.

Enjoy your day and have a wonderful weekend. Stay healthy and safe. Hugs, Mrs. Poole
