It was definitely hard to beat the weather this week! We had so much fun during recess all week long! The class even enjoyed having their gym time outside as well.
This week in class we have started our new writing unit on persuasive writing. So far, we have talked about different problems that a person could have and then we have discussed that one way to try and solve that problem would be to write it down. We have spent the week working on including a beginning sentence, reasons for the problem as our details, and then writing a closing sentence at the end of the story. This has been a popular activity all week long!
For our OG time, we are working on learning about closed syllables. These are consonant-vowel-consonant words (flip, cat, mug, etc.) The children have learned that when the syllable ends with a consonant we consider the syllable to be closed and therefore the vowel is short as well. We have practiced marking and reading real words and sill words (nonsense words) when working on this pattern. Next week, we are going to work on learning a new syllable pattern in class.
As a quick reminder, please do not let your child bring in toys to school. We have several children that are doing this in the classroom and the toys are becoming a distraction for everyone. As a rule, we ask that you do not send toys in at all unless you hear from me directly. Thanks so much for your help with this.
The updates are short and sweet today, just like our week! Have a great weekend!
