Rhyming We talked a lot about rhyming this week. We played some games and learned a new song called "Down By The Bay" where students had to come up with their own rhyming words. | Non-Fiction Research We began talking about non-fiction and created a "matrix" on what trees, people and animals do in fall. We used this book to find important words and sort our information under the themes above. The students had a lot of fun! | Scholastic Book Orders October book orders went home this week. Book orders will be due on Monday October 17th. Let me know if you need our class code again or if you have any questions. |

What did we learn this week?
Writing: I continued modeling the the writing process. (Think, Draw, Say and Test, Clap and Count, Write) The students are orally telling me their sentence by clapping and counting while stating the "Who" and "Did What?"
Phonics: We continued practicing the sounds our zoo friends make and we also began learning "snap words." The words we learned this week were; with and see. We learned a new song called "Down By the Bay" where we continued to learn how to rhyme.
We also learned the poem "Jack and Jill." We continued our work with rhyming words.
Math: We began to subitize in math. Subitize is when you see a group of objects and can tell how many are in a group without counting 1 to 1. We did many activities using 5-Frames, Dots, and Dice. We also learned some cool new songs.
