During our Math block we began learning how to write numbers “the school way”. We looked closely at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. We played a partner game where we matched the number of fingers with a number card, learned that there are lots of different ways to show a number and played a fun game called Monster Squeeze. During our math centers we colored ten frames to show numbers 0 to 10 and practiced counting lots of different ways. During our Writer’s workshop we began learning about how to write a “sentence”. We learned that the story we want to tell can be told in a sentence and that words will make this story. We reminded ourselves where writers get ideas for their true stories and we looked closely at our chart of how to write a really good true story. We learned that the pictures we make for our story help us to remember the words we want to write and that when we write our sentences should have spaces. This week we were able to participate in the Hour of Code. Mrs. Slone led us as we explored four different ways to practice coding. During our Reader’s workshop we learned that every reader has Super Powers! These super powers will help us to learn how to read the actual words in stories. We learned that pointer power helps us to read each and every word in the story. We practiced pointing to and reading each word in our favorite poem Jack Be Nimble. We had time to read privately and with partners. During our literacy centers we began a new rhyming write the room, matched pictures to the sound heard at the beginning of the word, practiced writing our names (and our friend’s names), and we said words slowly to hear their syllables.
