What Have We Been Up To?
Social Studies
- S.T.A.R.S. - We have been focusing on what it means to reach for the stars at HTS! We are so excited to earn Star Slips and ClassDojo points for being super-awesome students and friends!
- We worked on a Scholastic Let's Find Out! magazine to learn about the importance of a classroom community.
Science
- We have observed various sizes of Monarch caterpillars; how they move and even how they FEEL. (Yup, we even had some brave little ones slide a finger along the back of a Monarch caterpillar and feel how smooth it was.)
- Currently, we have two green chrysalises with gold specks. You can see a picture below. In about 10-14 days, we look forward to seeing beautiful Monarch butterflies make their way into the world from these special chrysalises. Our other caterpillar friends are visiting our neighbor Kindergarten classes to show them how they grow and change!
Math
- We have been introduced to Math routines during Calendar time - especially counting, identifying, and tracking numbers.
Phonemic Awareness
- Our names were a hot topic last week. We recited a rhyme called Hickety Pickety to practice our new friends' names, finished decorating our names with star stickers and paint dots, and made an name chart in abc order.
High Frequency Words
- I, am
Special Books We Read
- Pete the Cat and His Rocking School Shoes, Chrysanthemum, Bucket Filling from A to Z
And...lots and lots of practice with routines and time to get to know our new friends!
