Shared Reading/Concepts-We will be studying colors. Each day we will wear the colors we are studying. Monday is yellow and purple. Tuesday is brown and pink. Wednesday orange and brown. Thursday red and blue. Friday black and white. You do not have to wear both colors. :) Have fun this weekend looking around your house for color items to send in to school on Monday. You should have received a letter and a gallon ziplock bag to send items in. These items will be displayed in our room for the school year.
Daily 5 Reading-We are still working on building our reading stamina! We have made it up to 8 minutes as a class! Wow! Last week we read the book The Three Bears and learned how to pick good books for us! We also watched a clip from Cinderella that showed the ugly step sister trying to fit into the glass slipper. It looked painful. We discussed the importance of picking just right books. This week we will learn how to read to someone and disscuss EEKK. Elbow to elbow. Knee to knee. Please read every night with your child. Just right books will come home in September.
Daily 5 Math-We are continuing our study on Counting and Carnality working on numbers 1-10. The boys are girls are thinking of numbers deeply and representing numbers in different ways for example: 2 could be the word two, 2 tally marks, the word an (because it's 2 letters), February (because it's the 2nd month), etc...
Writers Workshop-Wow! We are so impressed with the children! We are learning to get our ideas on paper. The boys and girls are starting to write sentences using their sounds in motion. Writer's Workshop is an exciting time in our classroom!
We had so much fun walking to school as a class! We will have the walking school bus every Friday unless it rains.
Our sunny students!
