Where the Wild Things Are!

 

We had a short but wild and busy week! Here are the important things we learned...

We explored books and activities about monsters to get ready for Halloween!  Some of our monster themed activities during centers included writing monster power words, playing CVC games, making text to self connections about a time when we felt wild, and finding CVC words around our classroom. 

In Phonics, we learned the letters and sounds for Hh, Rr, and Ll. We practiced writing and reading the power words "look" (heart word) and "and". We blended and segmented sounds and worked on beginning and ending sounds.

During Writing, we listened to and discussed good writing, generated ideas and wrote about ourselves, practiced telling our stories orally, and worked on writing from left to right.  We also started using our word wall and sound wall to help us write power words.  

We continued our measurement unit in Math by comparing the height and length of multiple objects. We used new vocabulary to compare including taller, shorter, and longer . 

In Reading, we have been working on making text to text and text to self connections.  We are working on pointing to words as we read familiar poems and songs.  Our new vocabulary words that we learned include greet, excited, lonely, and invite

Our Second Steps lesson focused on learning how to report bullying to an adult.
