We are learning…

Fairy Tales- This week we are reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Today we made props in preparation for our dramatization centers. We painted the bears house, made porridge, beds, and chairs. We will read the story everyday this week and focus on a different comprehension strategy everyday: visualization, character empathy, making inferences, story grammar, and story comparisons.

 

Writing: Each morning we write our daily message about one thing that we are going to do that day. Each day before centers we will work on our scaffolded writing, creating a message about “who” we are going to be as we prepare to dramatize that day. Each afternoon we do graphics practice. Graphics practice is when students listen to a story and practice making strokes similar to the way we write our letters. As they practice, students listen to soothing instrumental music.

Math: We have started talking about different shapes and exploring with pattern blocks. We have also started exploring with sorting games and counting with unifix cubes!
