Hello Families!
Tomorrow is our first spelling word test. I sent homework home to practice for this test! Please help your child complete this assignment. Thank you!
Today we practiced asking questions using question words. (who, what, where, when, why)
We wrote to answer the question, “Where do penguins live?”. We are creating our own informational books about penguins. The children are also illustrating each fact. Yesterday we wrote to answer, “What do penguins look like?”. Tomorrow we will write to answer “What do penguins eat?”.
Yesterday and today we practiced identifying 2D shapes. Yesterday, we used toothpicks and playdough to create 2d shapes. We then covered our shape and provided clues to our friends to get them to guess the shape we created.
In social studies we discussed ways to learn about the past. The children brainstormed a list of events that happened in the past. (ex. their first birthday, the day mom or dad was born, Boo Bash, the Pilgrims coming to America)
We discussed some ways to learn about the past are by looking at pictures, looking at books, looking up information on the Internet, and talking to older adults.
Please remember there is no school on Monday in observance of
Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Enjoy the pictures!
Thank you for all you do!
