Reading:
- We continued to build our stamina and we are now reading independently for 25 minutes!
- We filled our book bins with lots of books from around the room.
- Ask your child about "The Power of Groot!"
Writing
- We finished writing class books about our school values. Have your child give you examples on how they can be kind, safe, curious, and responsible!
- We completed a special project and wrote about why we are important.
- We wrote our first weekly reflection letter to YOU!
Fundations
- We reviewed the vowels and the difference between long and short vowel sounds.
SEL (Social and Emotional Learning)
- We discussed ways that we could be a Bucket Filling Classroom. Ask your child what this looks like, sounds like, and feels like.
- We learned about whole body listening. When you listen with your whole body, you listen with your eyes, ears, mouth, mind, and heart
Science
- Our first unit of study will focus on trees. Today, each student picked a tree outside our classroom to study for the year. They took a picture of the entire tree, a close up of something special or interesting about the tree, and a picture of the leaves. The students will continue to study their tree and document how the tree changes throughout the seasons!
