Week 9 Update

In Language Arts, we are working on beginning sounds. The children practiced isolating the beginning sounds of words. For example: /c/     /at/ = cat
We also added the word 'a' to our word wall. It is our sight word of the week.We worked on reading it in a sentence, finding it in books and writing the word.

We practiced our sight words playing 'Swat the Flies'!

In Math, we continued Chapter 3 Patterns. We talked about the 'pattern rule' which is the part of the pattern that repeats itself. If the pattern is yes, no, yes, no, yes, no...the pattern rule is 'yes, no'. This is not as easy as continuing a pattern as the children have to identify when the pattern starts repeating itself. We will continue this in the beginning of next week before moving on to Chapter 4.

We made colorful macaroni necklaces using patterns!

In Science, we will be planting our own plants next week so we continued learning about how plants grow and change. Specifically, we learned about different stages of a plant's life this week. They start as a seed, then turn into a sprout, then a seedling, and finally- a plant!

We had a very special treat on Thursday with our trip to see Dora! The show was very interactive and the children helped Dora find her lost teddy bear.

The girls were so excited!

Waiting patiently for the show to start.

Dora finally finds her teddy bear in the City of Lost Toys!

Thank you Parents for checking the blog regularly! It is the best way to keep informed about everything going on at school.

Just as a reminder, there is no school on Thursday November 15th in observance of the Islamic New Year.

Have a great weekend,
Ms.Victoria
