Poem Of The Week<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Top of My Voice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I stamp<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ground thunders,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I shout<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world rings,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I sing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The air wonders<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How I do such things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was happening? <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

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

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” <\/strong>by “Amy Bihn” <\/strong>and illustrated by “April Black”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week’s math was all about fractions.<\/strong> We learned how to fill in a whole and a half. We also learned how to count, identify, and match numbers and images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
