Reading: In reading this week, we learned about reading with our reading buddies. We start by reading back-to-back and then switch and read EEKK…elbow-to-elbow, knee-to-knee. The partners read from the same book or take turns reading a different book, but…they all stay busy reading the whole time!

 

Writing: In writing this week, we have practiced shared writing. As a class, we draw a picture together, label the picture and come up with a sentence about the picture. On their own, the kids have also practiced drawing pictures, labeling and tracing words (that make a sentence) on a page about their picture. 

Math: In math this week, we have continued to practice learning about number sense. We have practiced showing how many of something a number represents. We had fun practicing forming numbers using Play-Dough!! We have also practiced writing numbers…finishing up our number books and sending them home. We talked about the words more and less and understanding which number is more/less. We even started practicing adding and subtracting some numbers…wow!

Split Lit: We practiced different skills during our split lit time this week. We continued learning about rhyming and beginning letter sounds and our color word purple too!

Math Games: 4 GVSU Baseball players and their coach (also known as Crew’s dad) came to our classroom on Friday to play math games with us! We were so excited about the visit and had so much fun playing fire safety math games with them!! Some of them even wore their purple!! We can’t wait for them to come back again!!

Free Choice: We had fun exploring with shapes, links, Legos and Geoboards. The kids enjoyed creating and having fun!!

Mystery Reader: We enjoyed having our first Mystery Reader surprise us this year!! Kaylee’s grandpa read us the book How to Babysit A Grandpa by Jean Reagan. We had so much fun listening to the story and it was really fun to see how excited Kaylee was to see her grandpa and grandma!!
