We have been busy owls in K-1 today! We made our October calendars where it was good practice writing numbers 1-31 in order. I wanted them to make sure they were forming the numbers the correct way from top to bottom and that the numbers were facing in the right direction. They all did a GREAT job! They LOVED making this calendar because they got to use their own creativity into turning the backside into a jack-o-lantern with black and white paper. They all turned out so cute! They couldn't wait to bring them home to show to all of you!
In math, we are learning about ordinal numbers. This concept was "tricky" for them so I have been doing a little extra with my kindergarten friends to make sure they are understanding it. They did great on our ordinal number activity today! Great job, K-1!
In structured literacy we have been learning more letters and the sounds that go with them. We are learning to blend them together to read words and write them on their own. I am AMAZED with how well they are reading and writing words with the learned letters/sounds we have learned so far! It has been so exciting seeing them grow as readers and writers! We are also continuing to work on rhyming, syllables and identifying what sound they hear in the beginning and end of words.
In reading, we are continuing to learn about parts of a book, authors/illustrators, and identifying the characters, setting, and main idea of books we read together. We are also continuing to solidify their knowledge of nouns, verbs and adjectives. I am amazed with all they are learning and how much they have grown as learners! Remember we have a day off tomorrow (Thursday) due to Yom Kippur but school will resume back on Friday for our pajama/stuffie day. Have a great night, everyone!
