We've continued to build our routines this week. We started our week learning about bees. They loved it so much that we colored lots of bees during our quiet time each day. We were busy little bees this week! We made a couple class books to help us learn each other's names. We learned about counting, and skip counting. We played counting games and made shapes with pattern blocks. We learned that at Beulah Ralph the students are kind, respectful, responsible, positive problem solvers. We learned what it means to be kind and responsible this week. Then we made paper collage heads to show that we promise to do these things. Next week we will learn about the other traits too.
Here are our learning objectives for the week:
Reading: Using our finger to point to the text as we read. (one to one matching)
Writing: How to write the date, how to draw people
Math: Looking for numbers, matching length, shapes, counting
Fundations: t, b, f - Letter name, letter sound, correct letter formation. Many of our kiddos already know lots of letters and sounds. We learn how to clip the sounds and also how to form the letters the kindergarten way. Clipping the sounds means that we say the ssssss instead of suh. or a short t sound instead of tuh.
