Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!

We did Fundations. We did our big cards and little cards and vowel chart. We learned that c words have an a, o, or u. And for k it has an e or i. We wrote some words on the whiteboards. (Kate)

We had library. We picked out new books. We did something new today. We read some books in media. We had to run a test to get to the books. It was MyOnReader. (Evan) This is a GREAT resource that your kids can access at home! There are 100’s of books to pick from. They can log-in using www.myon.com with their active directory number (library number) as the login and their password is their student id. If you need this information please let me know and I can send it to you!

We did math. For math we talked about the arithmetic rack. It has beads that look like circles. We used the story that we read yesterday we moved the beads to show ways to make 8. (Sophia)

We had guest readers named Kate and Anna. They read a book about Froggy. (Kymiah)

We did our poem called It Is Spring. (Logan)

For writing we are learning how to write letters. We are going to write letters to our third grade buddies. We learned about the parts like the closing and the body and the date. (Ginger)

We did Daily 5. (Malai)

We did read aloud. We read a book called Living and Nonliving. Living things breathe, eat, and need water. Nonliving things can’t breathe or eat. They don’t need water. (Andrew)
