We learned the letters and sounds for Zz, Xx, and Yy. We practiced two new power words: or and for. We worked on blending and segmenting sounds and isolating ending sounds.
In Writing, we wrote stories with the power word "see". We practiced writing from left to write with spaces between each word. We used our word wall to write more words in our stories.
During Reading, we read the story Gossie and made text to self connections. We worked on retelling to build comprehension and understanding. We practiced echo reading to build concepts of print and oral fluency. Our vocabulary words were search, heartbroken, energetic, and enjoy.
We continued our Math lessons this week focused on sorting data and comparing numbers. We modeled with math to make equal groups to solve a problem. We will finish up this unit next week and then move onto our unit on Addition.
In the Play Lab, we did an experiment on sink and float. We made predictions on whether an item will sink and float based on its size, what it is made of and how heavy it was. We then got to test and share our findings!
In our first Second Step lesson, we learned that mistakes are a natural part of the learning process. We practice encouraging their classmates (and themselves) while the class learns and practices a skill together: snapping their fingers. Remind your child that everyone makes mistakes and that mistakes help us learn. Point out when you make mistakes or tell them a story about a time you learned something from making a mistake.
This week's Play Lab pictures can be found here.
Looking ahead...
