Peek at the Past Week
Look What We Have Been Up To…
Friendly Reminders:
ELA:
-We reviewed the sight words and letters/sounds
-Our new letters were Ee… ask me what words have this
letters in them! I also know Ee has a short and long sound.
-We also learned about the H-Brothers! We met Theodore
and now know what sound th- makes.
-We learned a few new reading strategies! Ask me about
our friend Eagle Eye, Lips the Fish, Stretchy the Snake and
now Chunky Monkey!
Math:
-We learned about heavier and lighter. The important thing
is BIGGER doesn’t always mean HEAVIER!
-We used balance scales to compare the weight of two
objects.
-We are counting by 5’s and 10’s to 100!
Social Studies
-We are focusing on the character trait “kindness”. I wrote
about how I can be kind at school and at home.
Science
-We started learning about Space! Ask me about the
moon.
-We started writing in our Space Journals!
-We also started learning about the brain and how we can
be mindful thinkers.
