ReadingWe really enjoyed our family unit as we learned about many different kinds of families and family traditions. This week, we learned about some winter holidays, including Hannukah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas. After break, we will begin a unit on winter.
We are also learning to tell about the problem and solution in a story.
WritingThis week, we worked on writing about the problem and solution in a familiar story, The Amazing Little Porridge Pot. We also had the chance to do some creative writing about winter and Christmas.
We are also practicing writing some sentences using our word wall words. We continue to work on spaces between words and capital letters only at the beginning of the sentence.
MathWe finished topic 14-shapes- yesterday. After break, we will begin a short study on position and location words.
Science/Social StudiesWe enjoyed talking about jobs at home and at school, as well as earning money and learning about spending and saving money. We finished this unit with a study on wants and needs.
