Our monarch butterfly hatched and we released it. It was so exciting!
Our first writing unit is in full swing! We are writing small moment stories from our lives. We are zooming in on a specific moment. Each day I read a book that helps them understand how to zoom in and focus on one event or how to make our writing more exciting. Here are some of them:
We refer to anchor charts each day as we write and add to them as we learn new skills.
Enjoy this example written by a student about cliff jumping.
We wrapped up our nursery rhyme unit!
Now we are learning routines to move towards center work during reading. This will take a few weeks! Center activities will include Lexia Core 5, which is an adaptive reading program, and Epic! which is a super fun online resource. We are learning how to access these programs using chromebooks.
Do you know what a fact family or number tree is?
The subtraction facts for this family would be 6-0=6 and 6-6=0. Dominoes are a great tool for learning about these facts as well as flip cards. You have two examples of flip cards and the corresponding number families in your child's home school folder this week.
We are working on sentence skills!
They love reading!!
