Howdy parents!
This week we began a new unit in our Reading Curriculum that is all about Families! We enjoyed a book called Tortillas and Lullabies….which was written in English and Spanish. We enjoyed using and learning Spanish words for mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother as well as for the numbers 1 – 4.
We had an interesting discussion about traditions. Some that we have in school and more importantly traditions we have in our families.
We are still working on simple addition, but we have also been investigating different ways to make 4, 5, 6 and 7. This may sound easy, but it can be a challenge. Help us work with the numbers when helping to set the table, or counting out objects at home.
We worked on needs versus wants and began brainstorming ideas for the Invention Convention. On top of all that, we have been working on the phonograms, math facts, sight words, reading skills, following directions, journaling, poetry, blending and segmenting onset and rime in words, new vocabulary in the Wordly Wise unit, and brainstorming about our favorite animal so we can write a paragraph report. (Just the usual!)
Have a great week!
