This week in Fundations we learned the letters: x, y

Our sight words for the week were: he, for

At school this week we:

·        Read about Antarctica and learned how the animals live there

·        Did an experiment to see how animals stay warm in the artic temperatures

·        Did a gingerbread man scavenger hunt using our sight words

·        Our numbers of the day for this week were 4 and 5.

o   We introduced tally marks, ten frames, how to write the number name and if it is even or odd

·        Read various gingerbread man books and compared and contrasted them

·        Created our own gingerbread man book

·        Hypothesized what would have happened to the gingerbread man if he swam across the river and then tested our hypothesis and came to a conclusion.

·        Build Christmas trees counting by 10s

·        Finished our fall math journals

·        Created penguins for our bulletin board

 

Ask your child what else they learned.  Next week we will be introducing the letters ‘qu’ and ‘z’.  Our sight words will be ‘me,’ ‘she’ and ‘with’.

Enjoy your weekend!
