Curriculum Update:

Fundations

Last week in Fundations we learned the sight words our and said. The class was also continued to practice reading words with the digraphs sh, ch, th, wh, and ck. 

Reader's Workshop

In Reader's Workshop we began Module (unit) 7 last week. This unit is titled: Zoom In! and asks the essential question: "What can I learn when I look closely?" We enjoyed reading the stories Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Pena and Not a Box by Antoinette Portis. These books provided us with practice retelling a story, making connections, and identifying the story elements of character, setting, and events.

Math

In math the students continued to develop their understanding of number combinations as we spent the week learning the "friends of 10" or the numbers that, when added together, equal ten. Stay tuned for a picture of our classroom bulletin board which features a spring themed craft that showcases this new learning!

Writer's Workshop

In Writer's Workshop the students were introduced to a new type of writing known as narrative writing! In this writing unit the children will tell about a real life event in a three page story that consists of a beginning, middle, and end. In the week ahead we will work together to write a narrative story about when our chairs went missing on April Fools' Day! 😂

A Peek Inside Specials

It's an exciting time in art as the students work to create likenesses of themselves!

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! 🍎📖🚌

April Fools Day 2025

 Room 115 was filled with fun as we celebrated April Fools' Day today! Please enjoy the pictures and video below. 😂

As the students entered the classroom this morning they were shocked to see that all of the chairs were missing! We read the book Chairs on Strike by Jennifer Jones and discussed where our chairs might be hiding.

Snack was picnic style since our chairs were nowhere to be found! As the class went out to recess the joke was finally revealed. Click here to see a video of their reactions! We will use this experience to kick off our next writing unit which will focus on narrative writing, and we will work to write a story about a time we were surprised!

I had no problem reading the morning message, but apparently the class couldn't see it! 😆

Happy April Fools' Day!
