| Book Making |
This Week in Literacy (Some things we worked on)
- Reading with engagement, independence, volume and stamina.
- When we figure out a pattern in our book we can use that to predict what will happen next.
- We can guess at tricky words then check to see if we are right by: checking the picture, the beginning letter, and asking ourselves, "What would sound right in this book?" and "What would make sense here?"
- If we get stuck on a tricky part we can go back a couple of pages and get a running start. We read as smoothly as we can so we can really hear how the pattern sounds.
- Writers have to be brave word solvers: we have to use all of the resources we have, like the word wall to write words that people can read.
- Writers can stretch words out and write down all of the sounds they hear to write words people can read.
- We read some Hanukkah books and had a special snack of cookies shaped like dreidels, menorahs and stars. Amy Wallace also discussed Hanukkah with our class and students got to play with dreidels.
- We read The Gingerbread Man and got to eat some homemade gingerbread!
- Shared Reading was sent home this past week. We colored and read a mini-book: December is time to Celebrate.
- In our Word Study time we are counting syllables in words, writing uppercase letters and working on ABC order.
This Week in Math (Some things we worked on)
- Developing and extending measurement skills by using children's feet to measure objects.
- Thinking about combinations of digits used to write numbers.
- Recognizing and finding equivalent names for numbers.
- Using addition and subtraction clues.
- Using multiple attributes to find and describe objects.
- Applying sorting rules.
- Copying and extending a visual pattern that is not based on color.
