It was another great week in K2! There was lots of learning going on. We introduced many new letters and their sound: m/n, l/r, s/z, a,i,o,u, j, and the digraph ch. We reviewed the sight words I, can and continued working on rhyming words. We listened to the Chinese fable "Tikki Tikki Tembo" and then listened to a different version. We discussed how fables change a little each time they are retold. In learning centers we wrote about something they can do with the prompt I can_______. and wrote about who was in their family. We counted the number of letters in our names and sorted them by how many letters, sorted letters by if they were in our name or not in our name, and worked on rhyming sorts.
In math we continued topic 1 and learned how to,write the numbers 4 and 5 and the number 0. We played a game called Roll & Record that the K2ers loved. Continue to have your child practice writing their numbers at home. Next week we will be finishing up the topic.
On Friday we had a very special visit from Johnny Appleseed. He talked to the K2ers about his life and took questions. I was impressed but some of the great questions we had. We also read a story about Johnny and then charted things that we now know.
Lastly, we welcome our very special "Monkey in the Chair", Thiago the monkey. He left the k2ers a couple letters this week reminding them to cover their mouth when they cough or sneeze. As a reminder, if your child just has a cold there is no need for them to miss school. If they have a fever, strep throat, stomach bug, or any other contagious virus then they should stay home. If ever you question whether your child should stay home or not, feel free to call Nurse Jenny.
