Tuesday!

What a wonderful Tuesday we had today! We started with reading two non-fiction books about baby elephants. We used a graphic organizer today that will help us write an informational piece about calves (baby elephants) throughout the rest of the week. Today we wrote three new facts that we learned about calf elephants. This was a lot of writing and students did a great job sounding out words to create our sentences. We reviewed what an opinion is and what a fact is. Our goal was to only write facts that we learned today about a calf elephants from our readings.

After writing, we did Calendar and our Daily News routine and then we went outside for a wonderful sunny recess! It feels like spring is here! We then had reading groups focusing on decoding, blending and reading sight words, the ABC book, writing the letter R, and listening to a story. After reading groups we worked on math number bonds, finding all the ways to make 7!

Our letter of the week is Rr and we are reviewing the sight words: are, for and you!

Homework Folders came home today if they did not come home yesterday!

Monday:

We started the day with puzzles! We read the book Rosie Rabbit's Radish and guessed what was in my question can (it was a rose). The kinders also guessed various pictures that start with the letter Rr. After our letter work, we went outside for a chilly, but fun recess. :) After recess, we continued our work on math and number bonds. We reviewed number bonds in math and created a few numbers bonds where the parts together equaled six! We also worked on a math fluency activity where students had to make six using different objects and counters. At the end of the day, the AM class had Free Choice time and the PM class had Library checkout!

Reminders:

1. Homework folders came home today or yesterday.

2. Take Home Books were exchanged/checked in. Some kiddos did not have their books, so they did not receive a new book.
