I have not been doing a good job with taking pictures in our classroom, and I apologize. I will do my best to remember to take some new pictures of our classroom activities next week!
We finished up our unit on animal habitats. Mrs. Abbey read a Mexican folk tale called The Coyote and the Turtle. In this story, a turtle wanders far away from home and meets a hungry coyote. Ask your child to tell you how the turtle tricks the coyote into bringing him back to his home without eating him!
We also worked on blending sounds to make words, and practiced the sight words we have learned so far.
In math, we played the flipping numbers game. The students also practiced making numbers using our place value pockets. We focused on 2-digit numbers, although there were quite a few children who wanted to be challenged by 3-digit numbers!
The students went to library today. Remember, your child can return their book any day of the week, not just on library day!
Mrs. Abbey is currently assessing your child's reading level. These assessments help determine which skills each child needs to work on and helps create literacy groups based on skill-need.
The students have been introduced to all 9 new literacy stations. These stations focus on reading and writing the kindergarten sight words.
Just a reminder that next Friday (Jan. 28) is the 100th day of school. Please remember to send a collection of 100 items (along with clues for the class to guess what it is) to school by next Friday. We will also have a special 100th day snack mix, so please send in 100 of something snacky (dry cereal, m & m's, licorice bits, chocolate chips, etc.) for us to add to the snack mix. We do have peanut allergies in the classroom, so please make sure not to send items that contain peanuts. Thank you!
