KM’s Week in Review:

 Monday: 

This week our popcorn word is for and our letter is Jj.  The students are learning all about dictionaries this week and how to use them.  They were so excited to page through different kinds of dictionaries.  They looked through picture dictionaries along with other children dictionaries. 

Tuesday:

The students were busy today with different math activities.  They have really progressed in the area of adding and subtracting numbers to ten.  They had art today and enjoyed learning about different artists.  The students worked really hard and were able to spend some time in social centers. 

Wednesday:

Today we read Goldilicious and the students had to write all about the main character Pinkalicious.  They had to think about the story and write what she felt, touched, saw, heard etc.  They enjoyed the activity.  In math, the students worked on counting different combinations of coins. 

Thursday:

Today the students learned ways they can conserve energy and help the Earth.  They are looking forward to using their information at home and teaching you all about recycling, reducing and reusing.   J  They are young scientists!


Friday:

We had fun reading the book The Jester that Lost His Jingle and the kids were excited about writing a response to the book.  In math, we continue to practice identifying the coins, their values and telling time to the hour.

KM’s Week in Review:

Monday:
This week we are going to be focusing on the five reading strategies and how they help decode unfamiliar words.  Today the students practiced using picture clues as a reading strategy.  We will be learning about the letter Xx and our popcorn words are no and yes. 

Tuesday:

The students were busy today working on the “chunking” reading strategy.  They found it easy to use.  I sent home a sheet with all of the reading strategies that can be used at home.  I told the students it is a sheet they can keep handy while they are reading at home.  In math have been busy reviewing coins, working on telling time to the hour.   

Wednesday:

The students had fun today creating riddles and then reading them to the class.  A few of the riddles really stumped us!  The students enjoyed music and PE this afternoon.

Thursday:

We had a great time creating our own little creatures today!  The kids also worked on calendar skills, journal writing and reading at their independent level.  Kin-Connect and music filled our afternoon. 

Friday:
