It has been a long and busy week in pre-k! We had our IB certification visit on Monday and tuesday. Mr. Justin has also been out on vacation since Wednesday, so Ms. Chico has been cover his class. Lastly, we also had our (late) birthday party for Karyne on Thursday! With so much going on, here’s what we did this week:
Literacy
This week our sight words were aby, him once, and then. Our phonics focus was the AIR sound like in AIRport hAIR, and pAIR. We are also continuing our reading comprehension
Our next Raz-Kids deadline is will be February 20th. Please reach level E by that date
Math
This week in math we focused on doubles addition (2+2, 5+5, ect). I’d like to start having the kids know these by heart so they can be used later when they learn multiplication. I’m also challenging some kids to do think about addition in reverse. What kind of addition can we do go make 8? (4+4, 3+5, 7+1, ect). We’ve got a few new math centers and games with doubles and addition focus.
Unit of Inquiry
We are continuing our Inquiry into reflection. We are continuing our reflection journals. Everyday, the students should write one thing they did a good job on, one thing they want to learn/practice tomorrow, and their favorite part of the day. I’m trying to get the students to really think about what they’ve learned today. It would really help them at home if you ask what they did today. Ask for specifics too! What did you do during ABC time today? What sounds did you practice? Did you do reading or writing practice? Practicing remembering at home will also help the kids practice their remembering and reflection at school.
Along with reflection, we are also starting on our YEP performance. To tie it in with our Inquiry, I’m having the kids reflect and choose what songs and dances they want. We’ll have our final set list decided by Monday. YEP is usually a surprise, but my hint is that it will be Disney-themed again!
Announcements
Grandparents day is Monday! I look forward to seeing all the parents and grandparents there. We’ll play a game and do a craft together!
Music class is now on Mondays, so please be sure to bring pianicas Monday morning.
There are still some reports of the flu around the school. Please keep an eye out for symptoms and make sure students are healthy before sending them to school
