Our centers this week included finding nocturnal animals and writing them at Write the Room Center, sorting nocturnal and diurnal animals, playing CVC BINGO, reading books assigned to us on RAZKids, and writing about nocturnal animals using power words that we have learned.
During Phonics, we reviewed the sounds for /m/, /a/, /s/, and /p/. We learned the heart words "come" and "some", and read and wrote about the story At the Zoo.
In Writing, we practiced writing letters, words, and sentences and explored letter-sound relationships. We wrote using the power words "is" and "my" as we wrote about our friends. We added the word "she" to our word wall and shared our writing with our class.
In Reading, we listened to stories and retold the events in the beginning, middle, and end. We also learned a new poem and practiced acting out the lines in the poem. We echo read and chorally read the poem together and added it to our poetry books. We learned new vocabulary words including wade, sleepless, companion, and patient. We were introduced to suffixes (-less) and reviewed synonyms.
In Math this week, we continued working on decomposing and writing teen numbers. We focused on numbers 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.
We celebrated and honored our veterans at our Veteran's Day assembly. Thank you to all who have served!
In this week’s Second Steps lesson, we reviewed that we can use body language and context clues to figure out how someone is feeling. We also reviewed we can use slow breathing as a way to help ourselves feel calm when we encounter strong feelings. Ask your child to tell you how they think others around them might be feeling, for example a sibling or a character in a story, a movie, or a TV show.
Have a great weekend!
