January 17-20

It's my first post of 2012! I can't believe the school year is half over! Here's what's going on this week in our classroom:

Literacy
This week we are working on the letter Kk and our alphafriend is Keely Kangaroo. Talk with your child about words that start with the /k/ sound as we will be making a list on Friday!
We have two new word wall words this week: in, here.
In writing this week we are learning how to write stories with a beginning, middle, and end. We are using a planning page to help us think through our idea and then writing the story in a 3 page booklet!

Math
In math we are still working on finding partners in numbers. For example, partners for 6 would be: 5+1, 4+2, and 3+3. We are also working on drawing numbers of objects using five groups. For example, 8 would be five and then three more. And lastly, we are still working with sorting object based on different attributes: color, size, shape.

Social Studies
We will be discussing Martin Luther King, Jr. this week. Today we read a little interactive story about who he is and then will be doing a project tomorrow to go along with his dream!

3rd Quarter Homework
New sheets and one new supply will be coming home either on Thursday or Monday....we're still trying to get them run off correctly! They won't be due until the Wednesday after spring break.
