Parents!
As the snow fell this week we "waddled" into winter and had so much fun together!
 |
| Our penguins have speech bubbles just like we learned in writing! |
 |
| Making snow angels! |
In Reading this week we read Mrs. Wishy Washy's Christmas. We had fun making text-to-text connections, retelling the story and stretching out words. We learned two new sight words this week: it and see. We practiced our sight words in our sight word center and during guided reading.

| Retelling the story with picture cards! |
In Writing this week we learned about speech bubbles. We learned that stories are even more fun to listen to when the characters are talking. We practiced labeling the people in our stories and adding speech bubbles to show they were talking. We had a blast finding speech bubbles in books and on signs as well!

In Spanish this week we learned the song "Feliz Navidad." We reviewed colors, numbers, days of the week, months of the year, the family members and the animals. We will continue reviewing these things this week along with some fun holiday vocabulary and songs!
 |
| We did a great job reading the color sight words in Spanish! |
In Social Studies this week we continued our project on the farm. Now that we have been to a real farm, we are really excited about our project! The end in mind of this project is for students to create poster maps in groups of a real farm, including labeling everything they draw. Students will also be presenting these posters maps!

| Frog Jump letters with the chalkboards! |
In Handwriting this week we practiced making the Matman with the wooden pieces, writing our letters on chalkboards and writing letters on the iPads. Next week, we will begin to learn the Frog Jump letters. We always start our letters at the top, but the Frog Jump Letters jump back to the top again. These letters are F,E,M,N,R,B,P and D. In Handwriting we begin with learning the uppercase letters first.
 |
| Making our pages for the class book! |
 |
| "Buttering" our sight words! |
In Math this week we practiced finding groups of ten and counting groups of ten with pennies. We practiced circling groups of five and learned that two groups of five make ten. We practiced making a variety of number groups with pennies. We also practiced writing our numbers and learned a number rhyme to remember how to write each number!

Notes/Reminders:
-Class Dojo will no longer be used. This week, we will begin earning fish to fill our fishbowls. Students can earn fish by filling someone's bucket, using the 7 habits, being a leader and many other positive things. Once fish are earned, they will not be taken out. Once 5 fish are earned, kiddos can choose a prize from the prize box!
-Sight words will be checked on Mondays. Your child's just right sight word list will be coming home on Tuesdays.
Have a great week!
Monica
