The Exploration of week 1/24/2022

Greetings Friends, & Families!

Poem Of The Week

At the Top of My Voice

When I stamp

The ground thunders,

When I shout

The world rings,

When I sing

The air wonders

How I do such things.

________ Felice Holman

What was happening?

This week, my explorers started their exploration of the letter K. They created their “mini K book” and they collected different images that start with the letter K and glued them inside. They also started their “I Can Write” packet about the letter of the week, the letter K. The explorers made a kite out of construction papers that represented the letter K.

For their reading comprehension, the explorers were reading “The Homesick Penguin” book by “Ken Bowser”. We answered “wh” questions, such as, “What story did we read?” and, “who was the character in the story?”. We ended this week by reading “The Winter Wish” Book by “Gillian Shields and Rosie Reeve”. We have been also learning how to identify words and pictures when are presented by the staff.

This week, we continued our learning of the core word “GO”. Each one of the explorers has their own copy of the book “Go Fish”. They enjoyed reading the book with teacher and other staff, as well.

We continued learning about our five senses in science. We learned that we have five senses: hearing, seeing, smelling, feeling, and tasting. We used our science book “I Use My Senses” by “Amy Bihn” and illustrated by “April Black”.

This week’s math was all about fractions. We learned how to fill in a whole and a half. We also learned how to count, identify, and match numbers and images.
