What we're learning this week....
This week in Fundations we are adding the vowels i and u into the mix. We have already learned how to recognize, write and make the sound for t, b, f, n, and m. Check that this learning has crystallized by asking them to identify those letters and their sounds during your reading each night.
In ELA we continue to work on hearing, identifying and recording the first sounds in words. For those that find this easy, we will be focusing on hearing more of the sounds in words and recording them. In Writing, we are going to start writing books!! We are also going to be writing Counting Books in Math this week. Your children are excited about being authors, and creating books, so we are capitalizing on their passion!
Your children have embarked on setting goals for themselves. They have each devised their own goal, and need your support to achieve their goal each day. Ask your child what their goal is, and what their plan for meeting this goal is each day. We record in their Leader In Me folders whether they met their goal each day.
Peppermint the guinea pig is making her debut this week in the classroom! I will be adding "veterinarian" to our jobs chart so that everybody will get a chance to feed and look after her. If anybody would like to take her home for a weekend, just email me to book a slot. It involves picking her up from school on Friday afternoon, and dropping her off on Monday morning.
