Happy Friday!
This Week:
Reading:
Titles: This week we learned all about Titles. We learned that titles have a capital letter on every word or sometimes all the letters are capitals. We found the titles of the books we had been reading.
Stretch it out: We also learned a reading strategy to stretch out the words. Like a rubber band, if there is a word we don’t know, we need to try to stretch it out to see if we can sound out the words. We practiced with out own books!
Read to Someone: We also have begun practicing “Read to Someone.” When we read together, we do rock, paper, scissors to figure out who’s books to read, then we can take turns reading or read at the same time. I’m excited to start doing it more next week!
Writing:
Good writers use spaces between their words.
Good writers use one idea to write about.
Math:
- We learned that when we are counting anything, we need to use units. Unites are important in telling us what kind of thing we are counting.
- We also learned how to tell time to the hour this week. When the big hand’s at the top, the time is _____ o’clock.
- Today, we also learned pennies! We learned that Abraham Lincoln is on the penny and when we count pennies we use cents. Cents means one part of 100! Because 100 pennies equals a dollar.
Bible: We had an exciting week of Bible stories! We learned that God is a holy God and that he cannot be near sin - and he can be a little scary at times, such as when he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah but we also know that God is loving and kind when he rescued Lot and his family. We also learned how God kept his promise through the story of Abraham and Sarah with their son Isaac. Isaac also got married to Rebecah and they had Esau and Jacob. So many interesting stories! You can find these stories in the book of Genesis in the Bible.
Sorry, only a few pictures this week!
