Hello Room 108 Families,
We had such a fun week of learning! This week, we learned about letter H. We practiced making the letter H with wiki sticks. As we made the letter, we practiced making the letter sound H makes. Furthermore, we wrote about things that start with letter H in our writing journals (examples: hat, hippo, hamburger, house, and more!)
We also started learning motion and movement by exploring roller coasters. First, we read a book about roller coasters. We read, “Roller Coaster,” by Marla Frazee:
As the students read the book, they talked about what roller coasters need (example: tracks, tunnels, roller coaster trains, etc.).
The students pretended to ride a roller coaster by pretending to ride Koo Koo Kangaroo’s roller coaster and Cedar Point’s Millennium Force roller coaster:
The students made a blueprint to build a roller coaster. They worked together during Writing Time and drew a plan to build a roller coaster. They included tracks, tunnels, and a roller coaster train.
Last, it was time to build a roller coaster! The students looked at their blueprints during Small Group and followed it to make their roller coasters!
