We started the week with a great day for our costume parade and classroom party. Thank you to the parents who sent in snacks, drinks and paper goods as well as the parents who came in and worked with the kids. They had a great time! We continued our reading theme, We're a Family this week. A few of the stories we read were, Goldilocks and the Three Bears & Shoes From Grandpa. The students made predictions in these stories and practiced retelling. We reviewed our popcorn words and the word that we added to our popcorn bag was, like. The letter sounds we focused on were the sounds that b & j make. In handwriting we continued to practice printing capitals letters that start in the corner, such as H, K & L. During math time we used The Numeral Song by Dr. Jean to help us print the numbers 1-10 correctly. We also practiced modeling these numbers on a frame and counted objects. Gwen was the star of the week. The students enjoyed seeing her poster and show & tell. They started making a special book for her and her dad came in to read to the class. It was a wonderful week!
