What Have We Been Up To?
Math
- In Math we have been focusing heavily on teen numbers - what makes it a teen number, what digit does it start with, how does it look using ten frames?
- We also have been looking at subtraction and how that differs from addition, what that looks like using manipulatives, and how to write a subtraction number sentence.
Handwriting
- Pp, Cc
Phonological Awareness
- We studied the sounds /p/ and /k/ at the beginning and end of words using pictures, letters, and our listening ears.
High Frequency Words
- I, am, the, little, a, to, have, is, my, we, have, like
Writing
- During small group instruction, we have focused heavily on writing a sentence with proper structure. Using finger spacers, alphabet charts, and highlighters are a must!
Special Books We Read
- Bear Snores On, The Dreidel Song
Conventions
- We learned about cause and effect and synonyms last week.
