 Hello families! 

This week we continued learning about repeating patterns! Students built patterns and used patterns during math, artwork, physical education time and during movement breaks. They had to include an AB, AAB, and ABC pattern. Ask your child about their movement patterns they created during outdoor/indoor Physical Education.

This week we began learning how participate in Daily 5 literacy in the classroom.  Daily 5 is a structure for learning. It has 5 components that can be taught daily: 1) read to self, 2) read to someone, 3) listen to reading, 4) word work, and 5) writing. This week the students received their personal "just right reading books" that are kept in their cubbies to practice what it looks like to read to self. We discussed using strategies such as: 

We also practiced Work on writing - Printing the sounds we know, add to a writing prompt,  copying environmental print from classroom posters, lists, and teacher created sentences. 

Examples of this weeks writing prompts were...

Each child had an opportunity to log into google classroom. The students were also shown how to log into Raz Kids. Please let me know if you would like me to send you the log in information again. 
Have a wonderful weekend.
