Curriculum Update
Reader's Workshop
Last week we practiced the skill of re-reading! We learned that when we re-read books we have seen before we start to notice new details and even words we might know. We also practiced adding a "pinch of ourselves" to the teaching books we read by marking pages we were especially interested in with a sticky note.
Fundations
In Fundations last week we learned about the letters i and u! We now know that these two letters have a special name, vowels, and vowels are letters that make more than one sound. We also practiced reading the sight words is and his.
Making our own igloos was the perfect extension activity for learning about the letter i!
Rubylicious!
On Thursday we enjoyed a fantastic virtual visit from author Victoria Kann. She read her latest title from the Pinkalicious series, Rubylicious! Information about ordering your own copy of Rubylicious was sent home last week. Order are due tomorrow, Tuesday, October 12th. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
A big Boyden "thank you" to our technology specialist Mrs. Carroll and a few of her fifth grade helpers who stopped by Room 202 last week to teach us about caring for our Chrome books! We learned a few do's and don'ts of Chrome book care, and even practiced logging into our personal Chrome books using our newly assigned usernames and passwords!
Math
In math we continued to work on counting to 20! The students below practice their counting skills as they completed various math centers including Tic Tac Teen and a pumpkin seed count and color.
Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon to see all that is new in Room 202!
