A Look Inside Our Classroom:
We are focusing on learning sight words like I, can, see, the, and we, and we’re getting better at recognizing these words during our reading sessions together.
We've begun exploring sounds from our sound wall, including p, d, m, n, f, v, short o, long and short a, short i, and e. Each morning, we have fun practicing these sounds.
We’re also practicing reading and writing our names, as well as numbers 1, 2, and 3, and lowercase letters of the alphabet.
In the classroom, we’re learning how to use various supplies properly, such as iPads, math manipulatives, whiteboards, crayons, and scissors. We even have a neat trick to help us hold our pencils correctly.
In math, we’re exploring counting and discovering that there are many things around us to count. We’ve also started using the iReady math program on our iPads.
In social studies, we’re discussing the importance of rules and establishing our own classroom rules.
We’ve completed our beginning-of-year assessments, smiled for picture day, and had our first fire drill. We’ve also started our “specials” classes: writing on Mondays, Library on Tuesdays, computer science on Wednesdays, and keyboarding on Thursdays.
We love singing, dancing, reading, and sharing stories. We look forward to recess, lunch, snack time, and even more recess! We’re making new friends and trying out new skills. It’s going to be a fantastic year!
