Classroom Update

This week we worked on the letter T. We made a table top turkey and wrote T words on the feathers. Thanks to the brave volunteers that helped me with this project! :) I think the kids enjoyed it.

In reading groups, we learned about initial and final “Tt.” Our workbook activity pages gave us practice identifying words with these. We also read, “That Tam!” and listened to and discussed a book called, “Flower Garden” by Eve Bunting. This book helped to teach us about reality vs. make-believe. Our word of the week was, “we.”

We created our "we" book this week. We focused on making sentences with variety and sentences that included a subject AND a predicate!

Everyday Math Concepts: (1) We reviewed counting 0-20 through number card activities. We also compared and ordered numbers. (2) We were introduced to the basic language of probability and categorized likely, unlikely, certain, and impossible events. (3) We reviewed the use of a pan balance and were introduced to the concept of balancing objects. (4) We counted objects using one-to-one correspondence and practiced adding using a collection of objects.

We will be studying the letter “Cc,” the word “are” and the color “white” during next week (Nov. 22-24) and during the following week (Nov. 29-Dec. 3).
