Reading- We focused on the name, sound, and formation of u and i this week. We learned that some letters are vowels and some letters are consonants. We continued to play sound games to help us break apart and put sounds together which are essential skills for reading. We read and discussed F is for Flag and The Many Colors of Harpreet Singh.

Writing- We continued to work on our drawing skills. We learned to draw with pencil first, then color in with crayons. We also practiced writing our names neatly on the line. We continued to practice using writing materials independently like getting a pencil and paper, and putting our papers in our folders at the end of writing time.

Math: We continued our work with counting.  Sharky the shark puppet helped us learn about numbers 4-7. We explored the number 5 in depth using different materials to make the number in different ways. We played a game called quick looks where I show the kids different combinations of dots quickly and they try to see the number without counting one by one.

Science/ Social Studies- We enjoyed a Mystery Science video about the Northern lights-also known as auroras. We learned about the American Flag. We also learned about the Beulah Ralph words kind, respectful, responsible, positive, problem solver. We focused on what being kind means as well as noticing kind actions throughout the week.

Mrs. Davison, one of our school counselors, visits our class every other week to teach our class. She teaches a variety on concepts. Our last two lessons have focused on safety. The kids are learning about unsafe situations, how to recognize them and what to do if they happen. The kids are learning to recognize unsafe situations, refuse (say no or ask an adult), and report (tell the adult in charge).

Today we learned about bullying. We learned it is not just being mean! Bullying is hurtful and that keeps happening over and over.

Thank you Mrs. Davison!

Reading- We focused on the name, sound, and formation of m and n this week. We played sound games to help us break apart and put sounds together which are essential skills for reading. We enjoyed reading independently from our book boxes and practiced staying focused! The class was able to read for 5 minutes! Wow!

Writing- We worked on adding a background to our pictures to show where the story is happening. We learned about getting and using supplies for writing independently. We worked on writing the whole time and staying focused on our work.

Math: We continued our work with counting with fun games like “count and sit”. Sharky the shark puppet helped us learn about numbers 0-3. We are working on building concepts of what numbers truly mean. We also made a class birthday timeline.

Science/ Social Studies- We continued to learn about school routines. We learned about feelings and how to use feeling buddies to help us handle big feelings. We also learned how to use the safe seat and buddy room appropriately. We took a nature walk and watched a Mystery Science video about Pluto. We also studied a walking stick I found inside the school and put it back outside in nature!
