What a busy week we've had! We started our Jan Brett author study and have loved reading her books! Here are some of the important things we've learned...
Our centers this week included:
In this week’s Second Step lesson, we showed that we can use body language and context clues to figure out how someone is feeling. We also showed we can use slow breathing as a way to help ourselves feel calm when we encounter strong feelings. Ask your child to tell you how they think others around them might be feeling, for example a sibling or a character in a story, a movie, or a TV show.
We continued working on uppercase letters in Phonics. We also practiced the power words to, go, no, and so. We switched beginning sounds to build new words and matched words into word families.
During Reading, we visualized the poem "It Fell in the City". We discussed which words helped us make pictures in our minds. We also used the illustrations in the story Red Sled to discuss what was happening in the book. We echo read with attention to characters' feelings to build oral fluency and discussed the typography to build our concepts of print. We practiced visualizing while reading independently. Finally, we learned these vocabulary words: grasp, observe, evening, and noiseless.
In Writing, we heard and discussed good writing. We wrote about our feelings and told our ideas orally before writing. We worked on writing from left to write and leaving spaces between our words. We also used our word wall to help us.
We continued learning about flat and solid shapes in Math.
Looking ahead...
