Thanksgiving




Calendar Math
This week we have added two elements to our Calendar Math routine. Each day we move the hands of our clock, exploring the concept of AM and PM. The idea that many of the AM hours correspond to dark, middle of the night hours can be confusing!! Also, we have stared to record the number of days that we have been in school using coins. We record the days three different ways using different combinations of coins. We are learning how to use the least amount of coins to record any given amount.

SBS Meeting
Once a month the students and teachers in the Sally Borden School come together to celebrate our connection, discuss different learning styles, and learn about successful adults that have learning differences. The seventh and eighth SBS students plan and lead these wonderful meetings. Check out the photos of our most recent SBS meeting!

Read Naturally
Our Read Naturally program is up and running! It is amazing to see the progress your children are making with their fluency through the guided practice this program provides. They have been enjoying graphing their cold versus hot reads on their own personal progress charts.

Upcoming Dates

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
