Reading: This week in reading we read Tacky the Penguin and enjoyed some non-fiction books about penguins, too. Our Shared Reading poem was about penguins and we learned about using punctuation at the end of sentences. We continue to read using our reading mats. We read our books from easy to hard and then back to easy again.
Writing: We are still working on our How To writing unit. We read our writing to our partners to make sure they could follow the steps. We will set writing goals this week.
Word Work: We learned that rhymes are not just fun...they help you read and write! We turned a magic word: "at" into a bunch of new words by adding a beginning. Practice rhyming at home whenever you can. Practice saying rhymes and writing rhymes! A little trick students learned is that usually if a word sounds like another word, it looks like that word! It can help us learn many new words!
Math: We are working on addition and subtraction fact families. We call them number bonds. We are also practicing reading and writing teen numbers. We can't wait for our 100th day of school! We will celebrate the 100th day of school on the Friday of conference week. It will be a low key celebration this year but sure to be a lot of fun!
Science: We are learning about Materials and Motion. This week we started learning about how different materials have different properties. Students are exploring which materials will be best for building a bridge for some of our plastic figures. Here are a few pictures of the students exploring different materials.
