I hope everyone had a great 3 day weekend! I hope everyone used to rest and feel healthy. Especially with the flu going around the school. This week was a short one in school, but still lots to do. We’ve got a lot going on for Literacy and Unit of Inquiry.
Here is what we did this week:
Literacy
This week our sight words were ask, her, old, and them. Our phonics focus was the EAR sound like in EAR, hEAR, bEARd, and nEAR. We are also starting to practice reading comprehension once a week. The first 2 tries should be on seesaw. We’re focusing on reading 4 sentences, and then answering a few questions.
Our next Raz-Kids deadline is will be February 20th. Please reach level E by that date
Math
This week we started advancing a bit more and worked on addition 1-20. I had kids use manipulatives if they needed, but hopefully we can have kids start working on their mental math as well. Next week I want to start focusing on doubles addition (2+2, 3+3, 4+4, ect) and hopefully have the kids learn them by heart.
Unit of Inquiry
We are continuing our Inquiry into reflection. This week we started reflection journals. At the end of every day, the kids write or draw 1 thing they did a good job on, one thing they want to practice tomorrow, and their favorite part of the day. This week we also did a winter tree art project. The kids also got to make reflection stars for their own art, and perspective stars for others. Next week we’ll do some more reflection practice, as well as start deciding what we want to do for YEP.
Next week we are also getting our official visit for becoming IB certified. The teachers are all very excited to show how hard the kids are working. We’ll keep you updated!
