This Week We  had a Grrrrreat first two days together here in Room 121! We have been very busy getting to know one another! We have been playing lots of name games and interacting with each other during our activity and center times! We have enjoyed many good stories together! We are learning routines, and learning how to use and care for our many new school supplies!! We are off to a good start and are looking forward to sharing the school year together!

 

Next Week-

Language Art- We will begin our literacy assessments with each student. They include: The Developmental Reading Assessment, Hearing Sounds in Words, Concepts About Print, Sight Word Identification and Alphabet Letter Knowledge. We will also begin working in literacy centers and small guided reading groups. We will be doing lots of alphabet and name activities. Each day we will focus on a student’s name, create a chart about the students, share their writer’s notebook covers, and make a class book about them. We will then add their name to our classroom word wall. It will take us about 3 weeks to complete everyone in the class!

 

Writing- We will begin our daily writer’s workshop. We will be learning about writing tools.

 

Math- We will learn about shapes: circle, triangle, rectangle, square, oval,  and diamond and colors.

 

Social Studies Our unit will be Good Citizenship at school, home and in the community.
