Here is a glimpse into our week:
Literacy: Your children worked in the book Little Brother by Joy Cowley this week. This was our shared reading book of the week. It featured our sight word, he. We also stamped and traced our sight word of the week. We have been playing rhyming games during literacy center time. The children worked in their handwriting journal for the first time practicing F & E.
Readers' Workshop: This week we learned about how readers re-read to notice or learn more. The are sharing "wow" pages (or pages that remind them of something in their lives) with partners.
Writers' Workshop: The children are telling lots of stories through pictures. This week we practiced stretching out words to write the sounds we hear. This labeling is an important first step to writing. Some children are ready to attempt labeling with beginning sounds and some are hearing ending sounds, too. Others are writing their names or other familiar names. We have new alphabet charts in our folders to use as a writing tool. These fish are beginning to take risks and leave their writing comfort zones!
Math: This week we did some "quick looks" at groups of dots. The children are working on looking at sets and telling how many dots they saw, but trying not to count them. They are composing and decomposing numbers by looking quickly at dots in different arrangements. This skill is called subitizing. We also worked on describing shapes. The children used important math language (ie: curvy, straight, line, corner, point, long, short, round, side, wide) to describe various shapes. We also have been patterning. There are 2 types of patterns we are working on.
The first is growing.
We have completed our first math unit!
