We have has a fun week learning and reading books by Mo Willems, our favorite author! Here are some of the important things we learned...
Our centers this week were packed with Mo Willems activities! We found pigeon power words around the room and read/wrote them, played roll and dob a power word, explored blends games, sorted adjectives/describing words, described our favorite toy like Trixie did in Knufflebunny, wrote and drew vocabulary words from our reading unit, and so much more!
In this week’s Second Steps lesson, we practiced solving problems by offering to share and take turns. Encourage your child to offer to share and take turns with items at home.
We worked on solving addition word problems to 10 in Math. We drew pictures, counted on our fingers, and drew on our ten frames to help us solve the problems. Please continue adding numbers at home with your child.
We continued practicing reading and writing words with blends and digraphs during Phonics, We worked on long vowels as well. We will start learning about words with silent e in the coming weeks!
During Reading, we continued learning about baby animals by listening to the book Baby Zebras and discussed information we learned. We wondered about the topic b bay zebras by sharing and writing "I wonder" statements. We listened to and read a short story called The Little Fly. We made and confirmed prediction s to check for understanding, discussed the pattern in the story to build fluency and develop word recognition, and generated rhyming word lists.
In Writing, we head, visualized, and discussed various poems. We explored descriptive words (adjectives) and practiced writing poems of our own!
Looking ahead...
