As you may know from the email, Ms. Chico is taking her holiday right now. In the time being, we have a new helper in our class, Ms. T! She’s excited to be part of the class, and gets along great with the kids. She’s already done some great work helping the kids with math this week.
The other piece of news is that we said “See you later” To Aruna. Luckily, she’s just moving across the hall to Preschool A, so the kids still see her all the time. This decision was made with the agreement of both teachers, admin, and the parents. While we are sad to see her leave our class, it is important that is in the best class to help her learn.
Announcements aside, here is what we did this week:
Literacy
This week our sight words were every, how, over, and walk. We did a general review of EAR, AIR, and URE words. I’d like to continue this review next week as well. We also did our normal reading comprehension practice, which is getting to be a bit more challenging. However, the kids are doing quite well.
Our next Raz-Kids deadline is will be February 20th. Please reach level E by that date
Math
This week we focused on “one more” (plus 1) and “two more” (plus 2). Ideally, the students should be able to do this with most numbers 1-100 by just counting up. We introduced the idea this week and will practice a bit more next week to make sure everyone is comfortable with it.
Unit of Inquiry
We are continuing our Inquiry into reflection. I have brought back Reflection journals for the kids. I asked them to reflect and see if there was way to make the journals easier and they asked for more time. I’ve started setting aside the last 10 minutes before snack as journal time and the kids seem to be doing a lot better.
We also continued working on the perspective line of inquiry, and are taking inspiration from different artist. This week we made more inspired polka-dots. We also experimented with different ways of making polka-dots. I’ll post the results as soon as possible to the hall or to seesaw.
Announcements
I am sending shoes, cups, and pianicas home today. Please return piancias by next Friday (February 15th).
