There has been a lot going on in the last couple weeks. We have covered many topics. In math we have studied time to the hour and half hour. This needs to continue at home for a firm foundation and more practice. Presently we are working through counting by tens and adding the ones. The tens place and ones place will also be discussed. Always look for homework on Wednesday or Thursday.
In reading and wordwork we have covered adjectives, nouns, and verbs. This week and next week we are working with compound words. Our reading groups have continued with many students moving up on their reading levels. Way to go! Some of our students participated in a readers theater this past week entitled “Tacky the Penguin.” Readers theater will help with fluency and expression.
This readers theater leads right into our new science study on penguins. The students really love learning all they can about penguins. This study will continue for a couple more weeks.
We just completed a class book using dialogue and quotation marks and highlighting the spelling word “said.”
This week we will be getting 5-10 new spelling words. Look for these to come home on the yellow/white writing paper.
Some upcoming dates include our class CHAMPs Assembly this Thursday at 8:00. We will be presenting on self-control. Our Valentine Party is on February 12 at 11:30-12:30. You will be getting a note about this. We also have a student holiday on February 15th.
Thanks,
Mrs. Benson
