Week Of October 31st
Highlights From Last Week....
In Reader's Workshop, we continued to look at the picture AND the first letter of the word to see if it makes sense! We increased our stamina to 11 minutes this week! We continued to practice our other strategies as well: looking at the picture while we read, trading out books, practicing turning and talking.
In Writer's Workshop, we continued to learn how to write across the pages and add more details to our stories. We added color, action, speech bubbles, labels and details to our setting. Our friend's have come a long way in such a short time.
In Math, we work on adding one more. We will write numerals 1-10 in order. We will also solve word problems by acting them out. We also worked on one less.
In Phonics, we practiced letter sounds and reviewed our sight words up until this point. Our letters of the week were "e" and"r". Our sight words were "look" and "and".
We celebrated Halloween in our classes! It was super fun! Thank you to all that provided yummy snacks for our party, it was greatly appreciated!
