Fun Run Update

I'm excited to share that our class has met our fundraising goal for the upcoming Bulldog Dash/Fun Run! As a result, we enjoyed many rewards last week including a pajama day and a visit from the school store cart! Thank you so much again for your support and generosity with Boyden's biggest (and most successful!) fundraiser to date!

Curriculum Update:

Into Reading

Last week we read the books Snail and Worm Again by Tina Kugler and Pete the Cat Too Cool for School by Kimberly and James Dean as we continued to answer the question: What makes each of us special? We also learned about synonyms and antonyms, and identified the problem and solution in the stories we read. In phonics, the students learned about the letter i and practiced reading the sight/heart word is. 

We enjoyed using the Touchview to identify synonyms and antonyms!

We also enjoyed learning all about igloos as we practiced reading words with the short i sound! ❄

Math

Last week in math we continued to explore numbers 0-10. Our week began by learning about tally marks and how they can be helpful for organizing our numbers and counting by fives. The class had a great time representing numbers 5-10 by using popsicle sticks as tally marks!

We used the poem/chant "1, 2, 3, 4, number 5 shuts the door" to help us remember that our fifth tally mark should be diagonal, making a set of tally marks look like a gate! 

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! 🍎📖🚌
