Writing: We continued to look at what we could do as a writer to grow: add more details, labels, sentences. This unit has ended, work will come home soon! We'll be focusing on word study and building sentences next week before our fall writing unit.
Phonics: In our word work station we are learning color words. We are also working hard to slowly stretch words out (pretending like we are stretching out a rubber band with our hands)
Reading: We are in our "We are Storybook Readers" Unit. The skills we've learned and practiced:
Math: We worked with our names to build name towers, used cubes to measure things around the room, learned and used tally marks and continued number sense. Some of our math vocab. from the week: same/different, longer/shorter, bigger/smaller, taller/shorter, more/less, patterns, colors, both.
STEAM: As weather watchers today we used thermometers to observe the temperature inside and outside and explored shadows.
Next Week: Next week we'll be focusing on Community! We'll take a look at community helpers and careers. We will have parent visitors Tues-Fri to share some fun insight on lots of different jobs. We are very excited! While students are not visiting with a parent, they'll be exploring career centers. I will be out on Wednesday, 10/3 for district math professional development.
Tips for Home: Practice tracking words at home of a familiar text, reading like the characters, talk about the sequence of the story, find sight words/letters/words they recognize.
Sight Words We've Added: a, and, am, I, the, like
