Reminder: Book Order is due Wednesday the 9th.
You can send the order in or order online
Each order helps earn free books for our classroom!
Math: In math, we continued
to practice sorting objects. Students
engaged in several class activities to help practice sorting, classifying, and
counting objects. We practiced sorting
objects by color, size and shape. We
also learned how to make graphs.
Language Workshop: This week we continued our theme of All About Me and the focus on
families. Our Shared Reading for the
week was Families are Different.
We discussed the importance of our families and discovered some
similarities and differences that we have.
We realized that all families are different and special. We talked about common physical, social and
emotional needs and how these differ from wants.
Reading Workshop: We continued our unit over reading
routines. This week we learned how to
handle books carefully, correct way to put book away, and what we do with a
damaged book.
Writing Workshop: This week we practiced
correctly forming letters Rr and Ss.
Each day we write a daily message.
As a class we look for sight words, and the letters we are learning that
week in the message. We have also introduced spacing, capital letters, and
punctuation.
Word Study: Our sight word for this week was “a”. Students were able to
engage in various Smartboard games to reinforce recognition and the sound the
letters Rr and Ss make.
