ABC Countdown
We had a great time kicking off our ABC Countdown to summer as we celebrated the letters A-D. Please enjoy pictures from Anything But a Backpack, Bubble, Chalk day, and Dance Day!
Anything But a Backpack
Dance Day
We enjoyed reading the story Giraffes Can't Dance to celebrate dance day! We also had a fun dance party at the end of the day. It was a great way to start our first week of ABC countdown activities!
Curriculum Update:
Fundations
Last week in Fundations we learned to read the sight words this and that. We also continued to practice building our reading fluency by chunking or "scooping" sentences, as well as putting words in the correct order to make sentences that look and sound right!
Math
In math we practiced solving addition and subtraction story problems! (also known as word problems) In the week ahead we will practice counting by tens and ones using dots, popsicle sticks, and ten frames.
Reader's Workshop
We continue to develop our reading skills as we work through our Avid Readers unit. Last week the students practiced bringing their stories to life by acting them out! We also used speech and thought bubbles to make predictions about what characters might be thinking and feeling or saying in given situations. In next week's lessons we will think and react to nonfiction texts!
Writer's Workshop
In Writer's Workshop we are busy creating posters, letters, books and petitions as we contine our persuasive writing unit. Last week we enjoyed reading the stories I Wanna Iguana and Click Clack Moo Cows that Type which were great examples of how we can convince others to get something we need or want.
Science
Our caterpillars continue to grow and thrive! Last week we enjoyed watching them as they formed their chrysalises, and on Friday we transferred them to their pavillion where they will hopefully emerge as butterflies soon!
Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon to watch us learn, grow, and play in the wonderful world that is K! 🍎📖🚌
