Lead
21 –Literacy: Home and Family.
Unit theme “What makes a home?” This
week we focused on the question, “Why do we need a home?”
Writing: We read the story titled Lunch by Denise
Fleming. The children discussed how authors write about things they like to
eat. As a class, the children generated a list of their favorite foods. Then from
the list the students created their own stories.
The
words like, of , and to were displayed on to the word wall
in our classroom. The students were able use the word wall as a reference to
write about their favorite foods.
Math: This week we worked on measuring items in the room
with unifix cubes and paper clips. We
also worked on number identification and sequencing activities using number
cards 0 to 20.
Sharing: We will not have sharing next week.
Social
Studies: We have read various books about
Thanksgiving this week. Number Turkey,
Thankful Owls, and pilgrim hats were some of the activities completed this week
by the children.
Weather:
Our cold winter weather is here!
Please remember to dress your child according to weather conditions. The children go outside for two fifteen
minute recesses and one thirty minute recess, so we would appreciate your help
making sure your child comes to school with a hat and mittens. Also, when snow is on the ground please have
them wear snow pants and boots. It may
also be a good idea to put an extra pair of socks and mittens in their backpack
as the children get pretty wet playing outside in the winter. Thanks for your
help!!
