What we’re
Workin’ on this week..
Language Arts / Social Studies
This week we will continue our study on Fairy Tales!! We have been learning about the characteristics of a fairy tales and reading some fairy tales. We loved meeting Cinderella last week! She was wonderful! Also, this week we will be assessing the first ten word wall words have learned. Please look for this to come home and help with the words that were missed! So far we have learned: I, like, can, see, a, said, we, are, go, but
Math
This week we will start our testing of our number sense. We will be continuing in math stations within the classroom. Please make sure to check your email for a note home from SEESAW! This is an online learning journal that all learners will have access to that will allow you to see what your child is doing in class!
Thank you for working with your child to make sure that they are able to do the following things:(These things are what we are testing for the first nine weeks)
1. Counting to 25 and beyond (with and without objects)
2. Counting backwards from 20
3. Reading and writing our numbers
4. Giving the numbers before and after a given number
Here are two power point presentations to help your child recognize groups of numbers as well as numbers out of order!
This week in science, we will continue working on our first engineering project! We will be using the engineering process to improve the shoe.
We will be discussing how things are created to help people do things and then over time, people improve them to make them better. Your child will be working in a group to go through the steps to imagine, plan, create, improve and share their shoe and how it works! We cannot wait to send home all of the things that we are working on! Please keep an eye out for pictures of all the wonderful things we will be doing!
As a challenge, we are inviting all students to practice tying their shoes! If at the end of our engineering project, your child can tie their shoes, they will receive a certificate! Check out the video below to help your child learn!
