This week, we had another author study and read books written by David Shannon. Here are some of the important things we learned...
Our centers this week included finding and writing CVC words, reading the book No, David! and writing adjectives to describe David, playing CVC games including "Say It, Pop It, Write It", writing about Bad Case of Stripes, meeting in reading groups, reading books on RAZKids, playing CVC BINGO, and more!
During Phonics, we reviewed the sounds for /m/, /a/, /s/, and /p/. We learned the heart words "come" and "some", and read and wrote about the story At the Zoo.
In Writing, we practiced writing letters, words, and sentences and explored letter-sound relationships. We wrote using the power words "is" and "my" as we wrote about our friends. We added the word "she" to our word wall and shared our writing with our class.
We continued comparing numbers to 10 using the vocabulary more than, less than, fewer than, equal, and same.
In this week’s Second Steps lesson, we learned to use body language and context clues to figure out when someone feels mad. We practiced looking at the person’s face and body, as well as thinking about what’s going on in the situation. Encourage your child to notice when others around them feel mad. Have them practice using body language and context clues to figure out when family members, friends, or characters in books, movies, or on TV might be feeling mad.
In Reading, we listened to stories and retold the events in the beginning, middle, and end. We also learned a new poem and practiced acting out the lines in the poem. We echo read and chorally read the poem together and added it to our poetry books. We learned new vocabulary words including wade, sleepless, companion, and patient. We were introduced to suffixes (-less) and reviewed synonyms.
We celebrated and honored our veterans at our Veteran's Day assembly. Thank you to all who have served!
