Curriculum Update:

Fundations

Last week in Fundations we practiced reading the sight word so. We also continued to practice tapping and/or sliding CVC words such as hat, mug, and pot, and learned about words in the -en word family!

Math

In math we completed our review of two dimensional shapes last week. The children continued to name 2D shapes and sort them by various attributes including the number of sides, points/corners, as well as curved vs. flat sides. We also strengthened our counting skills as we participated in many 100 day of school activities!

The students enjoyed working with a partner to sort, draw, and count two dimensional pattern block shapes.

                               100th day workstations (centers) continued to be a hit throughout the week!

                 We ended the week by making shape pizzas! They all looked good enought to eat! 🍕

5th Grade Buddies!

On Friday we visited our 5th grade buddies in Ms. Janke's class! Together the children prepared for kindness week by discussing different ways we can be kind at school, at home, and in our community. The buddies then worked together to create a beautiful kindness flower!

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! 🍎📖🚌
