This time of year is very exciting. We had fun Halloween and
Thanksgiving celebrations and Christmas will be here before we know it.
After reading what we are learning, you can see some pictures from the past month...
Here are some things that we are working on the next 6 weeks:
Math - Comparing Numbers and Geometry. Students will be able to compare numbers within 10 telling which is greater than and less than. Students identify 2-D and 3-D shapes, learn how the shapes can be combined to make other shapes, identify shapes of common objects, and tell which 3-D shapes can roll, slide and stack.
Language Arts - We have learned all the letter names and sounds. Now we are taking a more in depth look at the sounds of b, n, r, d, k, f, and o by identifying them in words and using those sounds to write new words. We are changing the beginning, middle, and/or ending sounds in words to make new words. We are paying extra attention to the medial sound. Students will be able to read and write simple CVC words as well as: I, am, the, little, a, to, have, is, we, my, like, he, for, me, with, she, see, look, they, you, of. Students will be able to refer to environmental print to write even more words.
Comprehension - We are learning about compare and contrast, plot, cause and effect, drawing conclusions and main idea.
Social Studies and Science - Our big question is How do changes affect us? We will learn how we change, animals change, life today from long ago and how our feelings can change. We will also be discussing and answering these questions:
- How does a panda change in its first year of life?
- What new things can you do as you get older?
- How is life different from life hundreds of years ago?
- What happens when animals change?
- How are things we use today different than things used long ago?
- What causes us to change the way we feel?
