Week 4 (last week)

Another exciting week in our classroom!  We have been doing so much learning, and it has been so much fun!  We got some new words for our word wall, read some amazing books, had some excellent conversations, and did some excellent writing.  We learned how to do author's chair, and we learned how to use scales to measure how many cubes it would take to balance it when weighing different items.  We continued to work on our Bug Books, and they are coming along very well!  We are practicing how to write our letters properly, and which letters hang below the line and which sit on top of it!

Here are the new words that we put up on our word wall.  These are words that we use a lot in our writing, and we really want to try and remember them so that we can use them correctly in our Journals.  Please have your child practice them at home by writing sentences using them:

  • because
  • friend
  • it
  • is
  • my
  • on
  • of
  • so
  • the
  • they
  • then
  • was


We have been learning some sketching techniques, such as shading and looking for shapes, when we are drawing.
