Learning Experiences

Reading- We focused on the name, sound, and formation of v and w this week. We continued to play sound games to help us break apart and put sounds together which are essential skills for reading.

Writing- We worked on doing our best writing to share with our families during parent teacher conferences.

Science/ Social Studies- We enjoyed a Mystery Science video about mountains and volcanoes. We learned more about fall!

Reading- We focused on the name, sound, and formation of l,h, and k this week. We read a book called At School. Each kid had their own copy to read. We practiced pointing to each word, using the pictures to figure out words, and finding the sight word “we”.

Math: We continued building our number sense this week by exploring the 10 frame and playing games like Frogs in the Pond to count a variety of quantities and understand how quantities change when we add more. We worked on counting objects accurately in different arrangements rather than just in a straight line. We also learned about the attributes of rectangles.
