This week was our Thanksgiving theme. We read fun stories about turkeys and Thanksgiving. Some of the stories we read were, T is for Turkey, Run, Turkey, Run, 10 Fat Turkeys, Franklin's Thanksgiving, & A Plump and Perky Turkey. We worked on a "Thanksgiving I See" booklet and out new popcorn word was friend. In Jolly Phonics we reviewed the sounds that ai, oa & ie make. In handwriting we finished the starting corner capitals, Y & Z. We practiced letter naming, letter sounds, rhyming, beginning sounds, blending, ending sounds, segmenting, substituting beginning sounds, & adding and deleting phonemes in our Michael Heggerty Phonemic Awareness program. In math we continued to work on numbers and assessments for the first trimester report card. We went to an assembly performed by Kids on the Block. During this assembly, the students were taught about children who may have different needs or abilities than them. They learned that even though they may look different on the outside, all kids are the same on the inside and everyone has feelings. The students also went to gym, library, recess and computers. Have a great weekend and Happy Thanksgiving with your families!
