WEEK OF MARCH 27

This week in
Reading we...
  • Worked on the sounds oo (oodily oo's) and ee (eedily ee's) 
  • Sorted reading strategies we thought we were experts in and ones that we thought we could use a little practice on
  • Learned about periods, question marks and exclamation marks
  • We are listening to The Boxcar Children during brain vacation.  I occasionally act out the book while they are listening to guide their visualization.
  • Made a popcorn word game board (coming home today)  

Writing we...
  • Wrote All About Me stories 
  • We spent several days learning about the table of contents.  Many writer's choose to write books with a table of contents and did a great job!  I talked about how it is like planning your book before writing it.  
  • Chose a non-fiction book feature to add to our books


Math we
...
  • Painted symmetrical irises
  • Played an addition game adding +0, +1, +2
  • Played a doubles addition game (sent home)
  • Used graph paper to record turn around facts

Other:
  • We made this chart at the beginning of the month.  Lions win!  :(

  • Guidance this week was about "What Makes a Good Friend" 
  • Had a special artist come to art class who taught us how to papier mache




Practice at home:
  • Play the popcorn word game that is coming home today
  • Read or watch non-fiction videos.  See if you can remember 5 facts.  If you can you are an expert and you can write a book about it in kindergarten!
