We have had a busy two weeks learning about spiders and pumpkins! Here are some of the important things we learned...
During Writing, we listened to and discussed good writing, generated ideas and wrote about ourselves, practiced telling our stories orally, and worked on writing from left to right. We also started using our word wall and sound wall to help us write power words. We also learned the power word "like" and wrote about things we liked and are interested in.
We continued our measurement unit in Math by comparing the height and weight of multiple objects. We used new vocabulary to compare including taller, shorter, heavier, and lighter.
In Reading, we have been working on making text to text and text to self connections. We are working on pointing to words as we read familiar poems and songs. Our new vocabulary words that we learned these last few weeks include champion, invite, lonely, sneak, persistent, and imitate.
During Phonics, we worked on the letters h, k, l, p, and j. We also worked on blending and segmenting sounds in words. We continued to tap, map, and write CVC words. We also worked on punctuation, comprehension, and sentence structure.
We wrapped up our Second Steps lessons about bullying. Our lessons taught us how to refuse bullying and how to be a good bystander.
