Our Words of the week are:
of you to the day and all
Please practice these a little over the weekend. It is most important that they can be recognized by sight to read them. Once your child can read them please practice spelling them. This can be done through body spelling, chanting, making the words with play dough, drawing the words in sand and so many other fun ways!
Today we:
-did buddy reading with a partner from the class.
-had a very fun Friday morning dance party.
-watched the video "Letter Factory" to help reinforce our letter sounds in a fun way.
-did our daily calendar routine. Can your child show you how to write an addition number sentence that equals 9? (ex.2+2=4)
-had our first time with our buddies, where we drew self portraits! Ask your child his/her buddy's name.
Yesterday we:
-watched a video called "Austin's Butterfly" (found under the character section of the blog) and learned about how to give good peer feedback. Then we gave and received peer feedback about our "I am..." journals from the day before. Finally, we revised our journal entries to add more details to our writing and pictures.
-Learned about Growth Mindset "The Power of Yet" and watched and discussed the growth mindset video clips in our blog. (character section)
-worked on an "I am" art project.
-did our daily calendar time in math. Can your child read the date from a calendar?
