This week was another busy week in K2! In ELA we started unit 7 where the big idea is "What are different kinds of animals?" This week we focused on how some animals are alike and how they are different. Our vocabulary words were appearance,behavior, exercise, wander and plenty. We listened to the stories Zoo Borns! and Baby Farm Animals. We worked on the short vowel sound of Uu and introduced the sight words for and have. We also introduced the concept of compound words and brainstormed different words that are a compound word. Some of the ones we came up with were: playground, strawberry, toothbrush, baseball, and snowman. Here is a cute song that I found called the Compound Boogie.
In Math this week we started Topic 11 titled Decomposing Numbers 11-19. We discussed how when we composed the numbers 11-19 we were putting numbers together so now when we decompose numbers we are taking those numbers apart. We have been working on a Numbers 11-19 booklet where we showed all different ways to take a number apart using base ten blocks and ten frames. Once we finish this topic we will be moving onto Measurement.
As I posted during the week, we FINALLY had outdoor recess. Hopefully the number of outdoor recesses will soon outnumber the indoor recesses. Please be sure to dress your child appropriately as if they will be going outside for recess each day. It can still be a little cool when that wind blows. And just think...only 6 days until the official start to spring!
Thanks to all the incredible donations at the beginning of the school year we are doing great with Clorox wipes and Dixie cups but we are starting to run low on tissues...there has been a lot of nose-blowing lately. If you can spare a box of tissues to send in with your child, it would be greatly appreciated!
Have a great weekend!
