In phonics, we met Echo and Baby Echo, learned 3 sound stories, and practiced using our magnet letter boards.
In handwriting, we used big lines, little lines, big curves and little curves to make a person. His name is Mat Man. We also learned how to make Mat Woman. We are trying to no longer make stick figures. Look for your child's work coming home today.
We launched Writing Workshop this week, too! We can be writers, just like our favorite authors. This week we learned that writers always write about a topic with which they are familiar. Writers use pictures and words to tell stories and to teach. We tried to do that, too!
In math this week we counted groups of one and two and wrote the corresponding numerals. We also spent time exploring our classroom math tools, how to use them safely, how to work as a team, how to help a friend, and how to clean up.
In social studies, we read one of my favorite books, The Crayon Box that Talked. We discussed how the crayons treated one another. Then we learned the word community and what it meant. We are just like the box of crayons, working together in a community, learning to get along. We also thought and wrote about our hopes and dreams for this year.
