We had a fun week chasing around our sneaky Gingerbread Baby! Here are some of the important things we learned...
Our centers this week included reading books on RAZkids, playing I Spy with holiday CVC words, finding and writing gingerbread power words, and writing various story elements from Jan Brett's Gingerbread Baby.
During Phonics, we worked on more uppercase letters, middle sounds, and sentence structure and learned the power words: had, on, not, and got.
In Reading, we listened to the story Found and discussed it using "I Wonder" statements. We worked on building comprehension and engagement, and established a purpose for reading. We read independently and self-monitored to check for accuracy and understanding. Our vocabulary words this week included peer, delighted, nuisance, and drenched.
We reviewed our Math unit on teen numbers. This is still proving to be tricky for us to write! Please work on writing teen numbers at home with your child.
We lost and FOUND our Gingerbread Baby! Make sure you watch the fun video of them! Huge thanks to Dr. Schreiner and Dr. Sides for their help in catching him!
We had such a fun time at our Winter party! I will post pictures on our next newsletter. Thank you to everyone who helped plan and organize! We are so grateful!
Looking ahead...
