In ELA our essential question was "How can you stay safe in bad weather?" Our vocabulary words were safe, prepare, notice, celebration, and enough. We reviewed the letters Hh, Ff, Ee, Bb, and Kk and the sight words is, little, she, was. We listened to the stories Waiting Out the Storm, Rainbow Crow, and Be Safe in Bad Weather. In learning centers we practiced reading and writing our sight words, looked around the room for February words, practiced writing the letters we reviewed,and spelled a lot of cvc words. We even had a couple of fun Dr.Seuss-themed centers such as Mystery sight words on cat in the hat hats and rhyming words.
In Math we started Topic 7 titled "Understand Subtraction." We discussed different vocabulary words related to subtraction such as subtract, take away, difference, left (as in how many are left), separate, and minus sign. We explored the idea of subtraction and represented subtraction as taking apart and taking from. We will continue with Topic 7 next week as well.
Today is Dr. Seuss' actual birthday. We learned that if he were still alive he would have been 114 years old today. In celebration of his birthday it is also "Read Across America Day." We had a special community reader come in to read to K2. Our community reader was Alicia Remillard. Alicia is one of my very best friends and also works at IC Federal Credit Union in Fitchburg. We were so happy to have her in to read to us today. Thank you, Mrs. Remillard!
I hope everyone has a great weekend...only 18 more days until spring!!
