Writer's Workshop
We talked about how to pick good topics for our books this week. We made charts with writing topics that we would love to write stories about! We even checked out Steve Jenkins website where he told us about how he came up with the topics for his books!
Math
This week in math we made a class age graph, talked about our birthday months, made posters for numbers 3,4, and 5, and even learned some new math games today!
Sight Words
Sight words are commonly used words that young children are encouraged to memorize as a whole by sight, so that they can automatically recognize these words in print without having to use any strategies to decode. I will give you more information about these words at our group conference! Each week they will have a new set of words to learn and I will remind you of next weeks words here!
- me
- and
- go
- play
