Hello Families!

We had a great week! We had our second field trip as well as more fun learning taking place in Young 5s! I will post pictures of the field trip when I get them all sent to me. I would like to thank Ms. Saba and Mrs. Dakhlallah for taking such good care of the class as they accompanied them on our field trip to the Fox Theater. Sadly, I was very sick at home. I would also like to thank the parents who came on the field trip as well as Mrs. Amgyed who provided a lovely snack and water bottles for the children! Oakman is such an amazing family to be a part of and I am so blessed!

This week we have been learning how to ask and answer questions about informational text. We read texts about healthy food as well as about groundhogs. In addition we learned the sight words, help, am, and come. The children have been practicing rhyming. Please encourage them to identify rhyming words. Reading your child nursery rhymes has so many benefits! Click here for a link that contains some information about the benefits of reading nursery rhymes to your child.

We also have been practicing simple addition and subtraction story problems as we talk about how we know we need to subtract or add.

In our Second Step learning we have been talking about what to do and how to handle when we have accidents. We learned we need to say, “I am sorry. I did not mean to do that. Are you ok?”

In science we have been learning about the sun and how it helps warm the earth and aids in the growth of plants that give us our healthy foods.

Check out some more of what we have been learning and doing with the pictures below. And…. please remember, there is no school for Kindergarten and Youngs 5s on Friday, Feb. 7th.

Thank you for all you do!

Mrs. Mehrhof
