Curriculum Update:

Literacy

Last week in Literacy we read the story Whose Garden Is It? by Mary Ann Hoberman. While reading this fantasy tale we answered the question, "Who lives in a garden?". We also continued to review the sight words "for" and "he" as well as the letter N! In Fundations we learned about the letters QU and Z. 

Our story of the week made for a great conversation starter about gardens and the types of plants we can find in them! It's always fun when reading and science come together!

Literacy centers gave the children the opportunity to practice reading and writing the sight word "for", sorting words that began with the letters "N" and "S", looking for words that start with the letter "N" around our classroom, and even making their own necklaces!

Math

Last week in math we continued our exploration of teen numbers! We learned that the number 11 is made up of one group of ten and then one more, and the number 12 is made up of one group of ten and then two more! This week we will take a closer look at the numbers 13, 14, and 15! We also enjoyed another visit from Boyden's math consultant, Mrs. Kelly, who taught us a game about the ways to make the number five. The class had a great time working with a partner and writing their own number sentences!

Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! I hope you check back soon to see all that is new in Room 202!
