Hi Fish Families!

Here is a glimpse of our week in the fish class:

Language Arts: We have begun learning about list books this week. We have been reading them and noticing characteristics. We will begin writing our own list books next week.  During Readers' Workshop we learned that strong readers are reminded of things when reading. We all used Post-it-Notes to mark somewhere in our reading that reminded us of something, then we talked to our partners about our stories! Making connections and talking about books is how comprehension skills develop with readers.

Math: The children continue to work on adding combinations to 5. They are reviewing +1 and attributes. Mrs. Quinn and I have been busy doing assessments. The children should be proud of their math growth since the fall!

Poem of the Week:  I made a little snowman 
                                 With a little hat 
                                 The sun came out and melted him 
                                 And now my snowman's flat

Song of the Week:  Let's Go Fly a Kite (Musical Scarf Activity)
