-There is a bit of a stomach flu spreading around our classroom! Remember to wash your hands carefully before eating anything! Sending love to our four friends who were home sick today!
Our Words of the week are:
week see need each need eat
Please practice these a little each night. It is most important that they can be recognized by sight to read them. Once your child can read them please practice spelling them. These letter chunks make a squealy long e sound (I sometimes call them the squealing e sisters!) We did not have a chance to get to word word today so if you have a chance to check out the videos in word work under the blog and review these words tonight that would be a great introduction for tomorrow!
Today We:
-learned our new poem of the week The Cat in the Hat's Colour Song , read it together and watched and discussed several video clips from the science section of videos about rainbows and colour wheels.
-had a fire drill.
-learned how to download the pictures we took of patterns around the school to our computers and started working with a program called Comic Life on a project for this.
-superstormed with the other class to start thinking about needs and wants. We observed and discussed interesting photos of families around the world with everything they own in front of their homes and then discussed what the difference between needs and wants is.
-started an art project where we drew pictures to make creative color wheels and then found the different colours to collage the colour wheels in magazines.
Please and Thank you:
-If any parents or grandparents are available to help with reading support on Monday mornings it would be greatly appreciated!
In our mail pockets:
-home reading bags (please be sure the books, bookmark and sight word cards are returned in the ziplock bag each day)
