This week we have:
- Shared, named, and displayed snow character projects.
- Listened to and discussed more grandparent letters as they have been coming in to class. We like to look on the map to find out where the letters have come from, and where our grandparents grew up. We also enjoy making connections to our own experiences and books we have read. We have found some traditions that have lasted through the generations, and some that are very different.
- Looked at time lines, sequenced dates, and learned about copyright dates in some of our favorite books. This should get the children ready to create their own time lines. If you didn’t see the time line project that came home last week, please check with your child or check with me. I have a few extra copies.
- Read about African American history and Martin Luther King Jr., and wrote our own dreams for a better world.
- Reviewed clock features and telling time. Check out the telling time game on bitesizegames.com for more practice.
- Stretched our “mental math” skills by listening for clue words in story problems.
- Enjoyed our experience at the children’s theater, and told about our favorite part of the play through writing and 3-D art.
- Explored vocabulary ideas by creating words that look like their meaning. Have your children show you the word pictures they created, and then try some more at home!
