This week we finished up our reading theme, Let's Count! The sounds we learned in Jolly Phonics were the sounds for ng & th. The students did winter benchmarking tests in which they had to name letters, sounds, and segment words. In handwriting we worked on the letter t & copied words that contained the lowercase letters we have done so far. Our new popcorn words were no & so. The students also worked on The Imagination Station computer reading program. In math we finished our chapter on shapes. We learned about symmetry and equal parts. Michael was the star of the week. Everyone made a special book for him and enjoyed the books his mom read to the class. They also enjoyed seeing his favorite stuffed animals for show & tell and the poster he made about himself. It was a wonderful week!
