October 7th to October 11th
Our Seventh Week
This week, we read many books about fire safety to identify ways we can stay safe from a fire. We had a special visit from the Fire Company to see the firefighters in their gear, the tools they use, and the inside of a fire truck. We reviewed syllables and rhyming words. The sight words were "red"and "blue". We focus on writing, sounding out and brainstorming words that start with L, M, and N. In Math, we learned how to compare numbers through one-to-one matching. We are able to identify which number is greater than or less than and by how much. Also we have been looking at objects to see which item does not belong and we are able to explain why it does not belong. In STEM, we are beginning our unit of Habitats. We discussed the definition of a Habitat. We identified plants and animals that live in the forest, arctic, desert, ocean, meadow, and a house habitat.
Next week, we will be reading stories about Pumpkins. We will learn about the life cycle of a pumpkin using Keynote. We will use adjectives to describe pumpkins. The sight words are "orange" and "green". We will focus on the letters O, P, and Q. In Math, we will begin addition to 10. We will learn 5 strategies to solve addition problems. We will identify the missing addend. In STEM, we will use Keynote to make a presentation about a Habitat. We will make a Habitat for a meal bug.
