Week of September 7th to September 10th

What a week!  We had so much to do in such a short amount of time!  Our theme this week was the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.  We used this book as the starting point for many activities; letter sorts, uppercase and lowercase matching games and coconut counting.  We also used Chicka Chicka Boom boom to start our poetry unit.  Each week we will use a different theme poem as a tool for studying rhyming and sight words.  Look for your child's Poetry Binder to come home on Fridays.  Please read that week's poem, then just sign and return!

Our letter of the week this week was "S".  We talked about how it hisses and read special "S" poems.  Ask your child if they can name any words that begin with the "S" sound!

We started using our toolboxes during Writer's Workshop this week!  

We are getting much more used to writing on our own now...
