Open House
A friendly reminder that this Thursday, September 28th is Open House Night at Boyden School! All friends, family, and neighbors are invited to come take a peek at Room 202 and see what we have been learning about in our first few weeks together! Open House will be from 6:00-7:30pm. Families whose last names begin with A-L should plan to attend from 6:00 p.m. -6:45 p.m. and families whose last names begin with M-Z should plan to attend from 6:45 p.m - 7:30 p.m. I hope to see you there!
Curriculum Update
Literacy
Last 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 children enjoyed participating in Literacy Centers which provided them with additional exposure to our sight words of the week, as well as rhyming, spelling, and writing skills!
We also learned that syllables are the number of "beats" in a word. The class had a great time counting the number of syllables in their names!
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!
The Kinder Kiddos above had fun exploring how different solids move. We discovered that some solids roll, some slide, and some (like cylinders and cones) do both!
Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at our week! Please check back soon to see all that is new in Room 202!
