This week the students learned:
- Math: We played number games on Monday to practice sequencing numbers, one-to-one correspondence, and number identification (for the tricky teens, which are 10-20). On Wednesday we learned about probability by reading "Wacky Wednesday" by Dr. Seuss. We reviewed several pictures in the story to determine if the events were likely to happen, possible, or impossible.
- Reader's Workshop: We learned how to sequence a story, which helps with learning to summarize the important events. To practice this skill, we read "Rosie's Walk" by Pat Hutchins. The students then put pictures from the story in order and numbered them.
- Writer's Workshop: We are beginning to learn about journaling. We practiced by writing about the things we do during the school day in a whole group setting. With a little more practice the students will soon get their own journals to write in.
- Handwriting: We learned how to write 6 and continued to practice V.
- Phonics/Word Study: We practiced writing the initial and final sounds for pictures (bat, dog, cat, car, and bug, just to name a few). The principles of the lesson are:
- "You can say a word slowly to hear the sounds."
- "You can hear the sounds at the beginning, middle, or end of the word."
- "You can write the letters for the sounds you can hear."
