During writing this week, we worked on creating lists. Next week, we are going to use these lists to create patterned books.
We have also been practicing reading and writing our sight words the, me, and look. We have been singing our Color Farm song to help us learn to spell the color words.
In language arts, we discussed characters and setting. We also worked on making text to self connections using the book Yoko. We had fun reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and looking at all of the capital and lower case letters. Your child should know and correctly use the terms "capital" and "lower case" when referring to letters.
During math, we have been creating and interpreting graphs.
We created some great pictographs:
After reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, we tasted coconut and made a graph of whether we liked it or not.
With much difficulty, I finally managed to crack open a coconut so we could take a loser look (I would not make a good contestant on Survivor!) :
This is our cute Eye Color Graph. After we construct graphs, we interpret them. (Ex. "how many more people in the class have brown eyes than blue?" "how many people have either blue or green eyes?") They are doing really great at this!!
As you can see from the graphs, we have also been working on tally marks....so busy!!
We made a Venn Diagram to represent if you have a brother/sister/neither. We had a lot of fun getting to know more about our classmates families.
In social studies, we learned that we need to follow rules to stay safe. We really enjoyed Officer Buckle and Gloria. The police dog in the book was so silly!
In science, we made a scientist person. On the inside, we wrote about some of the neat things scientists study:

*Library is on Wednesday. Please return last weeks book by this Wednesday in order to check out a new book.
