Exploration the week of 1/17/2020

Greetings, Friends & Families!

Poem of the week

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

_____ Langston Hughes

What was happening?

Since it was a short week, my explorers were still learning about the letter of the week, the letter J. They created their “mini J book”, and collected different images that start with the letter J and glued them inside. They also finished their “I Can Write” packet about the letter of the week, the letter J. The explorers made a Jaguar out of construction papers that represented the letter J.

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 have been also learning how to identify and differentiate between words and pictures when are presented by the staff.

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

We enjoyed this week’s science lesson. We continued to learn about our five senses. We read “My Popcorn Story” book. We even made popcorn and our reading buddies enjoyed eating the popcorn.

This week’s math was about fractions and counting. We learned how to fill in a whole part and a half part. We counted Legos, cones, and many more.

A big shout out and thank you to Adam F., Leah H., and Sara N. from Ms. Polster a fourth-grade teacher for joining our classroom on Thursday for the “Reading Buddies” program. They did an awesome and amazing job reading a story with our students.
