We continued our great work in Reading and Writing Workshop. This week, we learned that...
Good Readers...
- Make connections! They look at the pictures, think about the story, and ask themselves "what does this remind me of?"
- Explain their connection to the class and/or their reading buddy.
- Use everything they know to predict what will happen next.
Our Shared Reading this week was Humpty Dumpty. Students looked for rhyming words and sight words in the familiar nursery rhyme. A copy was sent home today. Please have your child read it to you, a sibling, pet, and/or stuffed animal.
Sight Words - Our class words are the, I, a, and is. Individual sight words were sent home at the beginning of the week. If possible, please practice these words with your child at home. They're doing a wonderful job practicing at school!
- Finish their writing! They look through all their writing pieces and add to the picture, add to the words, and then start a new piece!
- Brainstorm ideas with their buddy.
- Stretch out the sounds they hear in words.
- Continue to practice number formation - please practice the correct formations at home!
- Use manipulatives to decompose and combine numbers to 10.
Social Studies/Science - We continued to discuss our 5 senses! We read a book and watched a short movie about how our 5 senses help us learn more about the world around us. Our 2nd Steps lesson focused on being assertive. We talked about when you are stuck and don't know what to do you should be assertive, raise your hand, and ask a teacher/adult for help. The "Home Link" is optional, but it will give you a better idea of what we're doing in class.
