Hi Families!
Thank you for all of the extra support this week. We were busy with the 100 day projects and the completion of valentines. We couldn't do it without all of you.

The children shared their 100 day projects this week. What creative ideas they had! The children also counted out their objects in many different ways. I added the pictures to Flickr, so be sure to check them out!
Here is a glimpse of our week in the fish class:
Language Arts: During readers' workshop we learned about reading tools. We know that all readers take a picture walk before reading to get their mind ready for the story. We know that strong readers use the pictures to help us read and we know that readers can put the first sound of an unknown word in our mouth to get ready to read it. The children have been talking about what stories remind them of when we get into partnerships. We continue to write list books and will be picking one to publish next week.
Math: We spent a lot of time on the number 100 this week. We counted by 10s and learned about the 100 place in place value. We exercised 100 times during music and movement and made necklaces with 100 beads! The children are practicing counting beyond 100 without using the word and (ie. one hundred one.) We played addition Top It and addition Cross Out.
Social Studies: The Fish Class post office is officially open! The children are taking turns working in the post office to deliver valentines. Today we used pennies to purchase our stamps. We will use other coins next week.
