Before break we built our Gingerbread houses- this was a lot of fun (and quite an experience).
We enjoyed our Winter break and then came back to school and settled right into the swing of things. We also were able to enjoy some snow, some two hour delays and a snow day in there!
We talked about Martin Luther King and our dreams. We even got to paint a world where we added a heart with our dreams. Next time you come into the school be sure to check them out!
We have been working a lot on our writing and adding details to our sentences. One day we wrote about what we were wearing- that helped us understand adding details! Check out a couple of them below.
We are also moving beyond just letter names and sounds- we are also incorporating CVC words- how to read them and write them, identifying beginning, middle, and ending sound, and counting the sounds in the word. We continue to work on rhyming and syllables.
In math we just finished talking about how to make ten. We will continue to review this as we move into adding and then subtracting!
Finally- our big news.... Back in December I put in for a project on the website Donor's Choose. On December 31, 2015, I got word that our project was funded. We were given gears, some more magnatiles, puppets, ink and stamps (letters), playdough/clay letter tools to build words, and following directions cards. The goal is to use these to tie into literacy and math. We are using these during stations and our community time/Wildcat time at the end of the day. You will see pictures of these as time goes on but we are in the exploration process right now! We are having a great time!
One last thing- please make sure the school has current contact information! This is super important in these months where sickness is around more and winter weather is upon us!
