Once Upon a Time

                                               

We have had a fun week reading fairytales! Here are some of the important things we learned...

We visited fairytale centers this week​! We listened to fairy tales and discussed story elements, wrote and read silent e words, practiced reading real and nonsense words, and found and wrote fairytale pictures around the room. We worked on reading and writing sight words and words with blends and silent e. We read books assigned to us that focused on skills we are working on in our reading groups. 

We read through various passages together during Shared Reading, finding high frequency words and blends/digraphs. We continued reading with partners and independently and focused on reading fluently. 

We continued counting and writing numbers to 100 and revisiting addition and subtraction during Math and will continue to do so in these final weeks.

In Phonics, we continued to work on long vowels and the letter "Y" as a vowel. We learned that "y" makes a long e or long i sound and can be used as a vowel. We read and wrote power words with long vowels including by, my, go, so, no, me, he, be, and we. 

We continued working on our Science unit on the sun and shade and finding temperatures.

This week we learned about the life cycle of a frog.  Here are some of the other important things we learned...


Our centers this week included sequencing the life cycle of a frog, finding, reading and writing words with silent e and long vowels, writing words with blends, playing various learning games, and writing what we've learned about frogs.  

We continued to work on words with long vowels with a silent e during Phonics. We also learned about using the letter "y" for the long "i" sound.  

During Reading, we spent time with shared reading books, focusing on various skills. Please continue reading with your child at home. 

We kept up our work on numbers to 100 during Math and started to revisit addition and subtraction. 

In Science, we continued to learn about the temperature and the weather.  This will be our focus for the remainder of our year.  

We worked on making our writing more persuasive and convincing during Writing.  We talked about adding more details to make our opinions better to read.  Please keep writing with your child at home.
