What We Are Learning:
This week was so exciting as we starting borrowing books from our school leveled library. Your child will come home with a small book to read to you. There are also notes about how to help your growing reader. It is amazing to me how these children grow so quickly at this point in the year. I enjoy this time with them! I explained that you may say they are so good at reading already 🙂 And that I would give them more challenging books as the year goes on.
In Phonics we practiced stretching out a word and listening for the beginning, middle and ending sound. This is something simple you can do at home as well! We pulled picture card of CVC (consonant vowel consonant) words and stretched them out. We wrote the sounds we heard and sketched a picture to remind us of the word.
We also worked on writing lists this week. Our phonics lesson helped us stretch out the words in our list. We took our clip boards outside Wednesday to write a list of things outdoors.
The weather was perfect this week to provide many opportunities to take learning outside and have a few masks breaks during our day.
On Thursday we were inside writing lists of school items. Here is what our lists typically look like as we sound out the words. 
We enjoyed working in our pajamas on Thursday!
This week I sent home the pages from our Unit 1 of Math. I told the class to look through it at home. Pages we didn’t finish could be done at home (completely optional) or the papers could be recycled. They were happy to show you their first test 🙂
