We had a wild week! Here are some of the important things we learned..
Our cetners this week were all about monsters! We wrote power words, found and wrote CVC words, sequenced events in Where the Wild Things Are, and made text to self connections. We started Reading group during centers and are excited to learn to read together each day!
In Phonics this week, we worked on the letters and sounds for Ww, Jj, and Ee. We learned two new power words: to and do. We continued blending and segmenting and isolating beginning and ending sounds.
During Reading, we listened to and discussed the story Josie's Lost Tooth. We continued to make text-to-self connections to relate the story to our own lives. We revisited songs and poems that we have learned and found power words in the poems in our poem book. We learned new vocabulary words: sneak, persistent, imitate, and champion.
We practiced writing "I like" sentences during Writing. We worked on writing left to right, leaving spaces between words, and capitalizing the first word in our sentence. We are focusing on tapping out sounds we hear in words and recording each sound on paper.
In Math, we are learning about Comparing Data. We are practicing sorting and classifying objects by their attributes, collecting information, and organizing data into categories using objects and picture graphs. We are counting and comparing groups to determine which has more, fewer, or the same number of objects, and answering questions about the information shown in a graph. You can practice these skills at home by sorting toys, snacks, or other household items into groups and asking questions such as, “Which group has the most?” “Which has the fewest?” and “Are any groups the same?” We will continue this work over the next couple of weeks.
We visited the Lab and labeled our new themes. We had fun playing with Mrs. Silvey's class in the afternoon! Play Lab photos can be found here.
Halloween parade and party pictures will be posted next week.
Looking ahead...
