We also studied SO many versions of Little Red Riding Hood, getting ready for the play on Thursday. We read the classic tale, newer versions, versions from other countries, even one from the Wolf's point of view! We discussed possible lessons the writer wants the reader to learn and we wondered who was the most trustworthy narrator. We even had some friends act out the story during free time!
We continued our All About unit in Writing Workshop: writing more All Abouts, making sure that each page sticks to the topic and presents new information. As always, we're working on writing all the sounds we hear within words, remembering to use finger spaces and punctuation.
Our math lessons this week focused on: developing an analyzing visual images for quantities up to ten, using numbers, and/or addition notation, to describe arrangements of objects and decomposing numbers in different ways (see photo).
We continued to learn about weather in our science lessons, welcoming spring by reading spring books and recording weather observations.
We welcomed Lizzy Rockwell to Ox Ridge this week! She has illustrated MANY of the books we have read. She, and her father, work to illustrate her mother (Anne Rockwell)'s books. She has written some of her own stories, too. It was so exciting to meet someone who has published books that we adore. Look for them in your library.
Our trip to see Little Red Riding Hoods was a blast! Who knew that Little Red has an identical twin sister? We all enjoyed seeing one of our favorite stories take on a new twist!
