I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend and the beautiful weather! This week the students focused on the following:
- Math: We experimented with volume by comparing the amount of waters two containers could hold (which had more or less). We also created patterns with sounds, motions, and colors. We sorted coins by their different attributes (color, size, heads/tails, smooth edges/bumpy edges. Lastly, we played, "Give the Next Number." To play this game, the students sit in a circle. As we whisper count from 1-10 or from 1-20, I point to each student. When I tap a student's head, he/she has to stand up, say the number, and clap

- Reading/Writing: We made a predictable chart titled, "I like (favorite color)". We composed the chart together, then we touch read the sentences, and we built the sentences. This allows us to focus on the concepts of written print, the concepts of print in relation to reading, and sentence structure (letters make words, words make sentences; sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a period).
- Phonics/Word Study: We continued to learn about letters by using our names. The principles for the week include,
- "Words have letters in them."
- "Your name has letters in it."
- "You can say the first letter of your name."
Using name puzzles to notice letter features
- Handwriting: We learned how to write the number 2 and the following letters: R and N.
