Daily
5:
We are
continuing our work in our Daily 5 routine. The students have really made some tremendous improvements
in their work on writing. They
write in a journal daily. We are
really working
on making sentences using all the components we have practiced. So far we have worked on spaces,
starting with a capital letter, having a who and a what, and finally using an
ending mark.
Math:
We have been busy in
our math this month of December!
We just finished up our Chapter 6 on Measurement. We will spend the last few days before
break reviewing numbers to 30. Our
chapter on measurement was a lot of fun and the students did excellent on
it. We were able to play some
games about taller/shorter, using a balance to weigh objects in our room, and
even working on capacity. We will
be ready for the new unit in January on 2D and 3D shapes!
Health:
We have been working
hard in health discussing a variety of different topics. We spent last week discussing feelings,
tattling, and apologizing. They
were really good at understanding different feelings. Then we discussed the importance of know the difference
between tattling and reporting.
Finally we worked on the correct way to apologize to others. We then started discussing the
character traits. Please be asking
your child to share what they have learned.
Helpful
Hints:
Start working on finding objects that are cones, cubes,
cylinders, and spheres.
Begin working on the number words zero through ten.
