We talked about the sounds they make, brainstormed things that begin with each letter, and spent time practicing the proper formation of each letter. These letters will show up on next week\u2019s homework for a handwriting review.<br \/>\nReading\/Writing: This week we continued practicing components of our Daily 5 curriculum. The children are building stamina during our rotation for \u201cRead to Self\u201d and \u201cword work.\u201d We added \u201cwork on writing.\u201d This week we learned what an event is and what setting means (where the story takes place). We also made lots of text-to-text connections across several different books we have read. The children are learning to compare and contrast.<br \/>\nMath: We learned how to play a new game on the Promethean board all about 2D and 3D shapes. The children are beginning to understand 3D shapes and are having a little bit of a hard time understanding that no matter a shapes orientation (if it is horizontal, vertical, or on a diagonal) it is still the same shape. We also listen to our favorite shape videos on Youtube. \u00a0We will continue working on shapes.<br \/>\nSocial Studies: We reviewed fire safety this week and watched some videos on our Scholastic Let\u2019s Find Out page. There is access to this page through our \u201cEducational Websites\u201d tab on our blog.<br \/>\nThe children are still working hard at being \u201cgood citizens.\u201d We continue to work on being a good friend and learning when is the right time to tell me about something another student is doing.<br \/>\nScience: We continue learning about our five senses and making observations about things we can eat, see, taste, smell, and touch.<\/p>\n<p>Housekeeping Items:<br \/>\nPlease make sure to empty the green folders each night! It is very difficult and time consuming to locate homework or important notes when the folder is full of papers from the day before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all enjoyed the beautiful weather.
