Now for a recap of the past two weeks.
Beach Day was a huge success this past Monday. The children were very engaged throughout all of our stations. Thank you to all our volunteers!
Back in the classroom, we have been focusing on our comprehension during reading workshop. We have practiced "checking for understanding" with a paper check mark to serve as a reminder. The paper check mark reminds the children to tell who and what the story is about and where it is happening.
In math, we have spent many days reviewing and practicing previously
learned skills, such as solving number stories, adding, and
subtracting. Recently the children learned how to tell time to the half
hour. They LOVED using these little clocks!
During science time, the children learned about crabs. After two read alouds about crabs, we completed a graphic organizer about what crabs are, what they can do, and what they have. Each child then made a paper crab craft. They are adorable!
During writing, we have spent many days writing reflections for our portfolios. Children are very excited to share these portfolios with you next week! You will be amazed at how much they have grown as writers. We have also been working on a special Father's Day gift during writing time. Dads, you will be very impressed with what your child is making for you!
I look forward to seeing all of you on Wednesday.
