We are so excited about returning to the classroom this week! Jessica and Erica had an amazing two weeks of solo teaching. The learning that has happened on the Spirit Team has been so worthwhile! Your children know all about taking care of the Earth and all the important jobs they can do as an EarthKeeper.
In returning to the classroom this week, we have been busy playing some new math games-Count and Compare Unifix Cubes and Beat You to $0.30! As we head into the end of the year we are focusing on recognizing coins by name and value, counting and comparing quantities from 1 to 30, trading coins for other coins, counting by 2's, 5's, 10's and 3's and exploring number patterns on 100's charts! Your children have gained so many math skills!
We have been working hard during Reader's Workshop! Students have been meeting in their book groups, using their reading strategies, practicing sight words, "framing" their words and having meaningful discussions about the stories they are reading.
During Writer's Workshop this week students have been exploring their ability to write poetry!
We have been reading a lot of poetry, too! Share your favorite poet with your child!
Thursday is Earth Day! Please have your child dress in GREEN. We want to see which team can wear the most green!
