Celebration of Learning
Thank you for attending the Celebration of Learning! It is really special for the kids to have an opportunity to share their learning and pride in their learning with you! We really appreciate you!Curriculum
Reading/Writing/Science:It was hatching week! Monday, the students came in with great questions about what we were going to do when the chicks arrive/hatch! Therefore, we did some reading and writing about what we need to take care of chicks. They are becoming more and more independent readers and writers.
Book Baggies:
Please help the students remember to bring their book baggies every Friday. I would like them to have an opportunity to read different books.
Math:
In math this week, students had an opportunity to write their own math problems and then solve them, we reviewed data and analyzing data, and we also began learning a bit about coins and their value. Next week, we will focus on telling time to the half hour.
IXL Skills - Use these activities as you wish to help your child with the skills we will be working on throughout this third trimester.
Purposeful Play
Please see the Purposeful Play tab on the blog to learn more about our weekly Play Time and donation items we could use for it!
Homework
- Read every night (you can read with your child, listen to them read or read to them - all of it helps). Then talk about the book - who are the characters, what happened, why did it happen, make connections, what's the main idea, why did the author write the book, how did the author give you information, what features did the author use to help you as a reader
- Work on a math skill
- counting forwards and backwards within 120 (and skip counting)
- adding and subtracting to 20 - play a board game for this
- telling time (What are the hands on the clock? How is a clock set up?)
- identify and count coins
- measuring - length and volume - have your child cook with you to practice this
- talk about shapes - 2D and 3D - find items around your house, etc.)
