Halfy Birthday...Kaidan!!
Lunch in the Classroom! Thanks for all the parents who helped your child work on their holiday break homework! We enjoyed a nice quiet meal at Jost's Diner! :)
Math: This week in math we worked on learning counting strategies. We learned how to count and slide, count and touch and count and move. We used colorful bears to help us. We also practiced counting using ten frames to help us.
Reading/Phonics:
This week we began our study of the "h brothers." This week we learned the "th" and "sh" brothers. We call "th" the naughty brothers because when they are together they stick out their tongue to make their sound. We also learned the "sh" brothers. We call these the quiet brothers. When they are together they make the same sound when we want someone to be quiet.
Color words: This week we also began our study of color words. We sing a song to help us remember how to spell and read these color words.
Snap word: as, if
Comprehension: This week was our reader's theatre week. We practiced noticing punctuation such as commas and exclamation points. We practiced taking a breath at the comma and reading excited with an exclamation point. We also practiced reading like we are talking.
Storybook reader: Pastor Cullyn came to read us a fun winter story!
Character Education: This week we learned about the Unthinkables, "Wasfunnyonce" and "Grump Grumpainy."
