Week of January 6-10

Hello Parents!

We had so much fun this week even though it was cut short with our snow days!

This week in reading we read the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. We will continue this book into next week due to the short week. We reviewed our letters and sight words this week to get back into our routine. This coming week we will begin working on the -ap word family along with focusing on beginning sounds.

We did some fun writing activities this week with the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We wrote about our snacks since the caterpillar eats lots of snacks in the book. We also pretended we were caterpillars and wrote about what we would do as caterpillars! We practiced stretching our words out and using the word wall, ABC banner and Zoo friends to help us!

Working together!

Leading our friends in some songs!

In math this week we practiced working on teen numbers with ten frames and addition problems. We are working on understanding what a group of ten looks like and that when you add ones you come up with a teen number. We are mainly practicing addition to learn the + symbol and establish a good understanding of addition.

Hungry Caterpillar math!

In social studies this week we learned about maps and what symbols on a map mean. We created a map together and added symbols to it from the key. This week we will create maps in groups along with a map key.


Notes/Reminders:

-please send slippers or slip on shoes to school with your child each day. They may even keep a pair at school. Many of this kiddos have been trying to wear just socks due to wet boots. :)
