This week in K2 our essential question for ELA was What do you see in the sky? Our vocabulary words were distance, recognize, space, challenge and surface. We read the stories " Bringing Down the Moon", "A View from the Moon" and "Day and Night." We talked about how the earth spins and rotates around the sun to give us day and night and the seasons. The K2ers were so intrigued when I demonstrated this with a globe and a foam orange ball as the sun. We reviewed the alphabet and the sight words introduced so far. Each child came home today with a NASA goody bag with some really neat space things. I included a note about how we were fortunate to get these cool materials thanks to my sister who works there. I hope your child enjoys showing you all the goodies!
In math we are finishing up Topic 9 where we are working on counting,reading and writing numbers to 20. Next week I will be taking each of the K2ers to do the end of topic assessment and the rest of the week we will be reviewing. Once we get back from April vacation we will begin Topic 10 titled Compose and Decompose Numbers 11-19.
Monday will be Red Sox Day in honor of the Red Sox Home Opener game. Your child is welcome to wear their favorite Red Sox or other Baseball shirt and hat.
Have a fabulous weekend!!
