- Math: We compared shapes (triangles, squares, rectangles, and circles) by noticing how many sides and corners they have. We also talked about angles as they relate to the shapes because the students noticed that a rhombus looks similar to a square. We also worked with the subtraction symbol and practiced subtracting using counters. We also created a graph by rolling two dice, adding the sum, and colored the corresponding number on our graph.
- Reader's Workshop: We learned that we need to set a purpose when we read non-fiction books. This helps us to better understand what we are reading. We worked together to set the purpose for reading a book on librarians and teachers (as we worked to finish our community members unit).
- Writer's Workshop: We started a unit on responsive writing. The students got new journals to respond to a given prompt. This week we completed the following prompts: "I like winter because..." and "My favorite workstation is..."
- Handwriting: We practiced the letter O and learned how to form the letter Q.
- Phonics and Word Study: We continued to work with color words by locating them in text.
- We also started Guided Reading this week. The students are learning to read simple, predictable books by working with me in a small group setting. I meet with each group three times per week.
Listening Workstation - The students listened to "White Snow Bright Snow"
Math Workstation - The students played a game that allowed them to practice counting spaces using one-to-one correspondence
Poetry Workstation - The students illustrated a poem about January
Pocket Chart Workstation - The students sequenced pictures of putting a snowman together
Writing Workstation - The students wrote winter clothing words on mittens and drew pictures to match the words
