Math Workshop:
This week in math we focused on learning to read the numbers 10-30. We mainly focused on the numbers 11-19 because those are more difficult to remember the names of. We then practiced the numbers 20-29 and learned that when a "2" is the first number you see, you say "twenty" and then the next number that comes after it. We played a familiar game called "Roll and Record" but instead of just doing the numbers 1-6, we went all the way up to 12. We have these cool dice that have 12 sides and the kids loved rolling them and recording what they got. This was a good way to practice learning to read the numbers 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 that are not normally on a die.
Reader's Workshop:
Above are pictures from our reader's workshop time! Some involve working on letters and sounds while others work on sight words. We are working towards all students knowing their letters and sounds so that we can begin blending the sounds together when reading! Here is the link to the song that we practice multiple times a week to learn the sounds! We would love for you to practice at home with your children also. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3S3OX6HQm4
In HWOT this week, we learned the letters P and B! We learned that we used a long line and a small curve to make a P and a long line and two small curves to make a B. Below are the activities that we did to practice Aria's name this week for Marvelous Me.

Thematic Centers:
We finished up our centers on The Three Little Pigs and began our centers on Goldilocks and The Three Bears! We have already read multiple different versions this week and will continue to next week. Below are the four centers that the students are rotating through:
1. Story sequencing: We are working on the concept of a story having a beginning, middle and an end The students have to cut, order, glue, and color the pictures of the story.
2. Puppet making: Students cut and color finger puppets for the characters in the story and then act out the story with their friends!
3. Mini-book: Students illustrate each page of the book based on what is happening in the story and have to copy the words "big" "medium" and "little" onto different pages in the book.
4. Goldilocks "Wanted" poster: Students create their own "Wanted" poster for Goldilocks. They illustrate a picture of her and also get to come up with their own "reward money" amount.
Have a great weekend!
Love,
Mrs. James
