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!
