January 12, 2011


Monday, January 10:  Today we read nonfiction stories about polar bears and then wrote facts about them.  We began practicing the word do.  Our high school helper, Ashley, taught a math lesson where we put bears into our mittens to see how many could fit!  We also practiced graphing and writing.

Tuesday, January 11:  We made a little book for our book bin drawer with our new sight word in it.  We read the Jan Brett story, The Hat and responded in a journal.  In math, we reviewed different types of patterns and practiced writing numbers to 20.  I will be assessing number writing next week.  This is a skill you can practice at home! 

Wednesday, January 12: This morning we talked about animals that migrate, hibernate, and stay active.  Students visited several different literacy centers in order to practice sight words and initial consonant sounds.  In the afternoon, students went to Life Skills where they talked about the difference between a "tell" and a "tattle."  In gym, our class has been playing floor hockey! 

We have also been practicing letter formation since returning from winter break.  I am very impressed with how well everyone is writing!  This is something that you can continue to practice at home with your child!
