I hope everyone had a wonderful week as we said goodbye to summer and officially welcomed fall! Please enjoy a few highlights from our very busy classroom!
Welcome Mrs. Dacko!!!
Room 202 is excited to welcome Mrs. Raquel Dacko who is one of Boyden School's new kindergarten assistants! We are extremely fortunate to have Mrs. Dacko working in our classroom every morning. Welcome Mrs. Dacko!!!
Literacy
This week in Literacy we read the story Fit-It Duck by Jez Alborough and discussed the guiding question "How do people help each other?". We also reviewed the letters F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, and N, and continued to practice reading the words "I" and "am".
The students above practice their letters and sight words using pegs, stamps, and foam letter boards!
Math
In math the students learned about 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes as we continued our unit on geometry! As a result of this week's lessons, we can now identify 2 dimensional shapes such as circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and hexagons. We also learned about 3D shapes (or solids) like cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres!
These children worked together to sort plane shapes by various attributes such as shape, color, and size!
Media
Another highlight of our week was visiting the Media Center! During our visit Mrs. Fucile (Boyden School's librarian) read us a wonderful story about how to take care of the books in the library and at home! She also showed us how to use shelf markers to hold our spot when looking at a book. Next week the children will be invited to check out a book from Boyden's Media Center for the first time! Please note that we will be attending Media every Wednesday. Please help your child remember to bring back their book on, or before this day so that they are able to take out a new one!
The children we an excellent audience as they listened to Mrs. Fucile's story!
