This week we saw our first real snowfall! Students were thrilled with excitement! During ECO we explored habitats and how the seasonal changes force animals to migrate, hibernate, go dormant, or grow thicker fur to survive being active through the winter. Students acted out scenarios and played games to practice these concepts. PLEASE continue to pack multiple layers, warm coats, mittens, hats, boots, and snow pants if they want. A few Kindergartners were cold on Friday, luckily we had some extra layers (blankets and coats) packed for our lesson.
In Literacy, students began writing 3-page narrative stories. These stories may have a beginning, middle, and end. Many students are beginning to add labels to their writing, using the sound wall to help them recognize the letters that make these sounds.
Students were introduced to two computer programs this week. One was Lolilo, which is a literacy program that meets the children where they are similar to the Happy Numbers program. We also explored Pebble Go which is a wonderful resource when learning about animals. Students explored the animal they are learning about and then surfed around choosing other animals of interest.
In Math, we had fun with different pumpkin-themed activities like counting seeds, pumpkin bingo, and other games.
Notes:
Please pack your child some extra clothes if needed. Many students have used up their extra clothes supply. Thank you!
Book orders will be placed on Wednesday. Thank you!
