We had a lot of fun his week learning about arctic animals! Here are some of the important things we learned..
Our centers this week included finding and writing power words and arctic words, completing various activities with blends and digraphs, writing about arctic animals, playing power word games, and completing a science experiment involving a blubber glove! Ask your child to tell you all about it!
During Phonics, we revisited the letters and sounds for e, w, z, and v. We learned four new power words: we, be, he, and me. We read a story called Ten Red Hens and wrote about it. We also worked on digraphs (ch, sh, th, and wh) and the word ending -ck.
Our reading lessons this week taught us to listen to, wonder about, and discuss the story A Big Mooncake for Little Star to build comprehension. We also read a poem together and identified rhyming words. We reviewed the power words we learned so far and practiced reading and writing them. You can find the power words by clicking the tab at the top of the blog! Our vocabulary words this week were: nibble, twinkle, enormous, and tiptoe.
In this week’s Second Steps lesson, we showed what we've learned about kindness and the power of kind acts to help people feel good. We drew ourselves doing a kind act for someone at school. Ask your child to show or tell you about their drawing of doing a kind act for someone at school. Encourage them to draw a picture of themselves doing a kind act at home too.
We continued wokring on addition problems to 10 during Math and learned how to write an addition equation/sentence using plus and minus.
