Weekly Update
Last week we did not have an update. I apologize as I went home pretty sick. It turns out we had half of our class home as well. SO, this update is for both last week and this week.
Exploring Winter
We also read some fun fiction books as well!
End of Quarter 2!
I cannot wait to celebrate your child's growth at conferences and goals for the rest of the year!

What did we learn this week?
Writing: I began modeling how to write two sentences with two pictures and how to give details to your story. We talked about feelings we can have in our stories. I also included "where" in a sentence and modeled our new high frequency word editing strategy.
Phonics: Last week, we learned the poem "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and the students found rhyming and HFW. We continued to work on Consonant, Vowel, Consonant words (CVC words). We learned three new high frequency words; "had," "was," and "as."
Math: We began learning about "one more and one less." The students learned a new game. This week we had game days this week during math.
