Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!

We put glitter on our hands and pretended it was germs. We gave high fives and handshakes. We washed our hands. (Max)

We did media. We picked out some books. We looked at real penguins. We played on ABCya. (Mikayla and Malai)

We did writing. We made a chart about How To books. We looked at How to books like cooking books and building books. It was fun! (Andrew) This is our next writing unit. The kids will be writing their own How To book! Brainstorm ideas with your child tonight about things they know how to do well!

We did Daily 5. (Evan)

We played Counters in a Cup with a partner. We had 5 cubes. We had to put some in and some out and we had to guess how many were in the cup. It was fun! (Sylus) This is a great game to play at home! Take a cup and 5 items (beans, pennies, etc.) put some in the cup and have your child use the number outside of the cup to figure out how many would be in the cup. This is practicing number combinations to 5. Make sure to ask, “How do you know?” or “How did you figure that out?”

We read a book at read aloud time on the SmartBoard called Germs Make Me Sick. (Kate and Lyrik)

We did the letters X and W in Fundations. We wrote on our boards. (Lyrik)

Have a great night!
