****Don't forget that we go out everyday! Please be sure to pack snowpants, hats, mittens and boots.
Here's a picture of the kids during morning check-in. I was amazed how engaged they were all reading.
During snack and free time some friends worked together to make an awesome flag out of legos...great teamwork!
Literacy
- Reviewed Short U. We remember Short U by saying "U"..."umbrella".."short u sound".
- Worked with the families ug, uck, ut and un
- Worked with the "H Brothers". H Brothers are when two consonants work together to make a new sound. Here is a picture we have to help us remember "th, sh, ch and wh sounds.
- Worked with new word wall words. Look at the tab marked HF words to see all the ones we have introduced. Don't forget to practice these, we need to read and spell these by the end of the year.
- Have you checked out Raz-Kids? The kids love this web site where they can practice a variety of books at their independent level. They can even record their reading and send it to me so I can hear how they are doing. Try to have your child login at least two times a week. Just click on the Raz-Kids tab at the top of the blog.
- In Writer's Workshop we have been working hard at making our stories "come to life" by making character's think, talk, feel and move. We have also worked on revising our stories.
Math
- We have continued working with story problems. We have begun to use math journals to show our math thinking.
- Continued using efficient strategies to show our math thinking; counting all, counting on/back and known facts.
Social Studies
- Learned about the pilgrims and why they sailed to American.
- Read many stories about the first thanksgiving.
- We are working on doing a retelling....stay tuned.
