We are going to be authors and illustrators of our first book this week! The first step last week was brainstorming ideas for our Favorite Holiday. Then, we drew pictures of our holiday, the season it is in, and two more details about why it's our favorite. This week we will be transferring our picture ideas to our book and adding sentences about our pictures. It's such fun watching them get excited about being authors and illustrators!
In reading we are reading two short stories about weather. One is a nonfiction about and Ice Hotel! We couldn't believe there was such a thing and who would want to sleep in it!! The 2nd one is a realistic fiction story about a family in a snowstorm. We will compare the two stories and how they are the same and different.
sight words: it, there (We learned that "there" has a homonym. It is "their"!)
letter: Kk
Handwriting: We are learning the correct way to write lowercase letters! Yay! I am also asking the class to erase any uppercase letters they write in words and sentences that should be lowercase letters. It's a hard habit to break, so if you see them doing it, please give a reminder to fix them! Thank you!
Math: Today we went over their math test, so it should be in their folder. I introduced what subtraction is and how it is different from addition. Please work on the addition math fact flashcards at home. Each will have another set at school to practice.
Science: Our first science unit will be on Weather. We will be reading stories about weather and learning what climate is and how it affects the land where we live. More to come on our weather unit!
