Curriculum Update:
Fundations
Last week in Fundations the children learned about the letters h, k and l. We also practiced reading the sight words "had" and "did". Our color of the week was white!
Reader's Workshop
Last week in Reader's Workshop we discussed and explored old storybook favorites like The Three Billy Goats Gruff! We learned that when we hear a story over and over we can start to recite/read that story ourselves!
Writer's Workshop
In Writer's Workshop we continued to work on our "All About" books which focus on Boyden School. We learned that writers talk about and share their writing with others, and identify things they are proud of, as well as things that were tricky for them when creating their pieces.
The writers above share their "work in progress" pieces with a partner.
Math
Last week in math the class began to explore geometry concepts, specifically how to compose and decompose shapes. Using pattern blocks we discovered that three triangles make a trapezoid, and two trapezoids make a hexagon!
Happy Birthday Teddy Bears!
Celebrating the 120th birthday of the teddy bear was a highlight of our week! In addition to completing many teddy themed activities, we also enjoying reading the books Bear Counts and Corduroy.
Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! I hope everyone has a happy, healthy Thanksgiving! 🦃
