What a fantastic week of learning and growing together!
Students wrapped up our Civics unit with a garden service project. We weeded, harvested some lingering veggies, and, of course, had plenty of fun raking and jumping in leaves! After school, I dropped off some zucchinis at the park's sharing shed down the road. It felt great to share some of our harvest with the community.
In Literacy, we are introducing 2–3 letters each week, and we can already spell and read several CV and CVC words using m, s, a, t, and i. We have been spending a lot of time practicing proper letter formation and remembering to start our letters at the top. We are also continuing to build our understanding of print concepts and expand our knowledge about scientists and the work they do. We even took some time to see if we could come up with our own inventions after being inspired by the book Whoosh!: A Story About Lonnie Johnson, a man who invented the Super Soaker as well as did some important work for NASA. It was fun to think like inventors and imagine ways we could create something new!
In Math, we continue to practice number formation, counting quantities, and representing numbers in different ways. We also began working with a 10-frame, a frame that can hold 10 objects and will eventually help us recognize and understand different number combinations that make 10.
