It was a fun but busy week in K2 with all the extra activities that went on such as the magazine drive assembly, school picture day and then the walk to school day/half day. We were still able to get a lot done in the classroom despite the craziness of our schedule.
In ELA our essential questions was: How can we get along with new friends? We listened to the stories What About Bear and The Lion and the Mouse. We focused in on the letter Mm and introduced the sight word the. During learning centers we practiced writing the letter Mm, sorted our classmates names by if they have the letter Mm or don't have the letter Mm in their name, distinguished between uppercase and lowercase Mm with a letter match cover-up, sorted letters, and we also did some activities around the word the.
In Math we finished up Topic 1 and moved into Topic 2. In topic 2 we will be comparing numbers 0-5. We introduced the terms more and fewer. However, the K2ers were doing a great job with these terms because each morning at morning meeting we have been comparing the names of our Regal Beagles by deciding which classmate has the longest/shortest name or who has more/fewer letters. To practice these terms the K2ers paired up and used counters and a dice to see who had more and who had fewer. We will continue on with Topic 2 this week.
I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!
