We started learning about Arctic animals this week! Here are some of the important things we did...
Our literacy centers included reading group with Mrs. Silvey, RAZkids on iPads, playing blends and digraphs games at ABC center, completing a blends activity at Word Work center that focused on the fl-, sl, and gl blends, finding and writing words with blends at Writing center, and writing about penguins at Theme center.
We started working on writing, counting, and composing teen numbers during Math. Ask your child to write teen numbers for you!
During Writing, we learned how authors and illustrators tell more in their writing. We visualized to get story ideas and reread our stories to tell more. We read the book Cookie's Week to help us brainstorm ideas for writing.
In Reading, we listened to the story Found and discussed it using "I Wonder" statements. We worked on building comprehension and engagement, and established a purpose for reading. We read independently and self-monitored to check for accuracy and understanding. Our vocabulary words this week included peer, delighted, nuisance, and drenched.
During Phonics, we continued to work on writing uppercase letters. We read and wrote words with blends and digraphs. Please continue working on this at home.
In this week’s Second Steps lesson, we practiced two kind acts: asking, “Would you like to share?” and “Would you like a hug?”. Encourage your child to offer to share items at home. For example, have them help you make a snack and then offer to share it with other family members. Encourage them to offer hugs to family members or friends when they are tired or sad or need encouragement.
Looking ahead...
