Curriculum Update:
This Week's Sight Word: has
Fundations
Last week in Fundations we continued to review our uppercase letters and practiced writing H-N in our Fundations notebooks. We also practiced our tapping skills daily as we work hard to read CVC words such as hat, dog, and fan. While I do not require the activities in the Fundations parent information packet to be returned to school, there are some great handwriting pages in this week's packet if you are looking for extra opportunities for your child to practice their handwriting skills at home!
Reader's Workshop
The super readers in Room 202 continued to learn about, and pratice their reading superpowers during Reader's Workshop last week! Throughout this unit your child has learned various "superpowers" that can they use when encountering unknown words in the books that they read. The superpowers we have learned so far include pointer power, re-read power, picture power, snap word power, and partner power! Your child has the opportunity to practice using their reading superpowers everyday during Read to Self time in our classroom. This week we will continue to practice using our superpowers, and on Friday, have a very special super reader celebration!
The students above use their Partner Power during Read to Self time!
Math
Last week in math we practiced writing our teen numbers! We used the songs below to kick off our lessons and boy are they catchy! I encourage you to have your child sing them to you at home! Jack Hartmann Teen Numbers Teen Number Song & Routine
The students above practice writing their teen numbers as the complete an activity called Race to Trace!
Science
We are enbracing the cold winter weather in science as we learn about polar animals! Last week our focus was on walruses and the class had a great time learning many new facts about this cold loving animal! This week we will learn all about polar bears!
Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon to see all that is new in Room 202!
