Announcements
Q and U Wedding
I'm excited to announce that our class will be having a wedding for the letters Q and U this Friday, December 19th (click here for all the details!). If possible, please have your child bring a wrapped/packaged item (or picture of an item) that begins with the letter Q and/or U (q-tips, quilt, quarter, unicorn, umbrella, etc.) for the wedding shower that will take place before the ceremony. I realize it's short notice (and a busy time of year), so I will have plenty of gifts available in the classroom as well. Students are also welcome to dress up for the occasion if they would like to!
Wish List
Our classroom is currently in need of Clorox/Lysol wipes. Any contributions would be great appreciated! 😊
Curriculum Update:
Reader's Workshop
We began our next unit of stories (Module 4) in Reader's Workshop last week. In this module the students will work to answer the essential question, "How can I be my healthiest me?". We read the books Being Fit by Valerie Bodden, and Germs are not for Sharing by Elizabeth Verdick to help us start to answer this question. We also discussed the meaning behind the words: energy, exercise, and healthy, and practiced identifying the topic and central idea in informational texts. In phonics, the students learned about the letter u and practiced reading the sight/heart word "like".
Math
Learning about number lines continued to be the primary focus of our math lessons last week. The class learned two fun games which helped them practice sequencing the numbers 1-10 on a number line.
Writer's Workshop
In Writer's Workshop we kicked off a new unit all about opinion writing! Last week we gave our opinion on our favorite food, and favorite way to stay healthy. The children are doing a fantastic job with their writing and continue to work hard to stretch out the sounds they hear in words, and write Kindergarten sight words to finish and/or construct sentences.
Learning is Always Better with Friends! 💙🧡
Thanks for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon as we learn, grow, and play in the wonderful world that is K! 🍎📖🚌
