A Peek At Our Week!

It was another wonderful week in Room 202! 

Curriculum

Literacy

Last week in Literacy the children were introduced to syllables! We learned that a syllable is the number of "parts" or "beats" in a word! The children also had a great time counting the number of syllables in the names of the students in our class. We discovered that most children have two syllables in their names!

We also continued to talk about hibernation last week as we read the nonfiction text A Bed for the Winter by Karen Wallace. The children enjoyed the real photographs in this book and continued to build background knowledge about animals that hibernate. We also were introduced to the sight words he and for, and focused on the letter "i".

We had a great time designing our own igloos for "i" week!

Math

In math we began a unit on teen numbers! We learned that a teen number must start with the number one and also must have one group of ten and then "some more". We discovered that the number 12 is one group of ten and two more, and that 13 is one group of ten and three more! This week we will take a closer look at the numbers 14, 15, 16, and 17!

We had a great time learning about the number thirteen as we completed our Number of the Day chart!
