What we are learning:
In Bible this week we read the story of the little children coming to Jesus. We learned that God wants us to have the faith of a child. We talked about how when we are younger we love others so much and we need to continue that as we get older and it gets a bit harder at times. We talked about how big our love is for all of our friends in the classroom.
In math this week we continued to work on finding the sum of a problem by adding two factors. We played a game with partners where we added to the number 5.
During writing workshop we continued to work on pattern books. This week we wrote an I see book about things we saw while sledding. We are working on saying words slowly and writing the sounds we hear.
During Daily 5 we learned about lots of different reading strategies. We are working on sliding through sounds to read a word as well as breaking it into chunks. IN YOUR CHILD’S BOOKBAG IS A PAPER WITH OUR READING STRATEGIES AND CVC WORD CARDS IN WHICH YOUR CHILD CAN POINT AND SAY THE SOUND OF EACH LETTER AND THEN SLIDE ACROSS THE ARROW TO READ THE WORD. IF POSSIBLE, COULD YOU PUT THEM IN A BAGGIE AS I RAN OUT THIS WEEK! THANK YOU!
Here is a list of our sight words thus far:A, and, am, at, come, go, here, I , is, me, look, see, the, this and we.
In engaging God’s world (science) we learned about motion and force. We designed ramps with a partner and put balls of different shapes and sizes down them. I was amazed at our engineering minds! We noticed that different sizes and weights of balls made a difference as to how fast they went down our ramps. We also got to sled down a very big ramp(hill);)
This week Jaxson Brink was Up in Lights. Jaxson’s mom and dad came to share about him and we learned that Jaxson favorite thing to touch is his soft Detroit Lions blanket. We are so thankful to have Jaxson and his kind spirit and amazing sense of humor in our classroom!
