Week of Feb. 22-25

This week kids learned more about measurement as we talked about standard measurement with rulers. Next week, we will look closely at the penny and nickel. In reading groups, we practiced retelling and also thinking about the author's big idea. Have them retell and try to think about the "big idea" at home when they read to/with you. In writing, they wrote about a time they were hurt/sick and also what they do at recess. In Fundations, we have started learning how to tap out words using our fingers. We have been looking at the word families we have previously worked on, and tapped words out. Have kids show you tapping at home with simple C-V-C words, like mat, cat, hat etc.

I'm in the process of getting a day/time for kids to experience gym sometime before the gymnastics day (March 8th, talk to gym teacher for more details if interested), so that our kids are able to sign up for it.
