Pumpkins!

We have had a fast but busy week learning about pumpkins! Here are some of the important things we learned...

Our literacy centers included playing CVC games,  reading books assigned to us on RAZKids. sequencing the life cycle of a pumpkin, finding and writing CVC words and power words, and much more!

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 these last few weeks include champion, invite, lonely, sneak, persistent, and imitate. 

We wrapped up our Second Steps lesson taught us how to refuse bullying. Please continue to talk with your child about being a good friend. :)
