With all the craziness of conference week, I forgot to create a homework menu. Please continue to have your child visit the Lexia and MyOn websites to practice reading skills. Please encourage students to draw and write about things they see or do through the week. We are also working on counting to 100, finding shapes in our world, and counting out the appropriate number of items from 1-20. Look for coins. Talk about the name of the coin and how much it is worth.
This week our centers focused on Penguins. We created circle maps that included everything we know about penguins. We also made Pengins. They are all in the hallway in front of our classroom. Stop by and take a look!
Next week we will read the books The Hat and The Mitten by Jan Brett. We will compare and contrast the books. We will also continue to count on from 5 in mathematics and work on addition. On Wednesday of next week, our 4th grade buddies will come in. We will do a science experiment with candy hearts.
Wednesday of next week (February 1) is a late start day. School will start at 11:30 and dismiss at 3:40.
On Monday, we watched a video based on The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats. Today, we read the book. Afterwards, we compared and contrasted the book and the video. I wrote some of our thoughts on a T-chart.
Have a great weekend!
I was just wondering if there was going to be a valentines day party?
ReplyDeleteYes. We will have our party from 9:30-10:50 on Monday, February 13. We will have 4 activities set up. Children are welcome to bring Valentine cards to share with their classmates. Please have your child write their name on the cards, but do not worry about writing who the card is to. We have 23 children in class.
