Try one of these!*Although the notice asks your child to bring their t-shirt to school ahead of time, if it's easier for them to wear it to school on Wednesday the 5th that's fine with me! Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need help purchasing a plain t-shirt. A shirt you already have around the house is ok too!

Our class will be celebrating Valentines Day on Wednesday, February 14th! As part of our celebration we will be exchanging valentines. Please

Curriculum Update:
Fundations
Last week in Fundations we practiced reading the sight word has. We also continued tapping or sliding CVC words such as hat, mug, and pot. Lastly, we reviewed how to write the uppercase letters Q-Y. This week we will complete our review of the uppercase letters as we practice the letter Z, and also apply our tapping skills to CVC words we encounter in texts.
Reader's Workshop
In Reader's Workshop last week the children were introduced to a new module (unit) of stories and asked the essential question: "What does it mean to try hard?" We began to explore this question by enjoying the books Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwall and All by Myself by Mercer Mayer. We also used picture and text clues to identify character's feelings, and continue to practice making and checking predictions.
Math
In math we continued to explore two dimensional shapes. The class enjoyed playing a partner called Circle and Squares Race you to 20 which incorporated both shape and number identification. They also compared circles vs. spheres and sorted and counted pattern blocks!
Groundhog Fun!
On Friday the class had a great time participating in many groundhog themed activities in preparation for Groundhog Day!
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! 🍎📖🚌
