Last week and this week we have be working on many different standards through the different Gingerbread Man stories. We have read and will continue to read;
Gingerbread Baby
Gingerbread Boy
Gingerbread Man
Gingerbread Girl
Gingerbread Girl Goes Animal Crackers
Gingerbread Friends
Gingerbread Cowboy
Gingerbread Pirates!
Gingerbread Man Loose in School
We are focusing on sequencing stories, identifying characters, setting, problem and solution. We will look at how the stories we read and the stories we write all have a beginning, middle and end. We will respond to books we've heard in our Reading Response Logs. After hearing many different versions of the Gingerbread stories we will use a VENN diagram to compare and contrast different stories!
Friday we baked our own Gingerbread Man but he has since escaped and is Loose in Weston School! We have been given many clues but can't seem to catch him!
Fundations: Letters P, pan, /p/ and J, jug /j/
Sight Word Reader: Go In
Sight Words: review week
Math: Last week we introduced our new unit of 2D and 3D shapes! We focused on 2D shapes;
The children have learned about sides and vertices (corners)! They can compare the shapes and find shapes in their environment! Great job! We continue to practice counting to 100 by 1's and 10's daily. Please check in with your child and practice at home!
Our student of the week last week was SOFIE! Your friends in the Huard Huddle are proud of you!
