Recap of Our Week!

This week in Room 202 we worked so hard! We continued with our Eric Carle author study and integrated non-fiction text into the unit. We read, Have You Seen My Cat? and Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? by Eric Carle, and read non-fiction text about polar bears. We brainstormed a list of 13 facts we learned about polar bears, and wrote about it!

Continuing with the arctic theme, we chose a penguin as the main character in our Eric Carle inspired class book.So far we've got a penguin who lives in the North Pole and doesn't know how to swim! As the story continues, I will add updates to the blog.

In math, we met Andy Addition's best friend, "Susie Subtraction"!
 

We learned a number line can help us with counting, adding and subtracting! 

We finished out our week learning about Martin Luther King. We watched a short video on MLK and discussed what a hero is. We drew pictures of our heroes and wrote about them.

  Freya was the Celebrity of the Week! She brought in her slug stuffed animal to share with the class. She told us her favorite food is cupcakes, and  when she's not at school, she loves to go to Stew Leonards!

Looking Ahead…

No school- Monday for Martin Luther King Day

Many children have used up their spare clothes at school. Please send in another set in case of an accident.

Please send your child to school with school every day. We no longer have back up snack in the classroom.

Please be sure to complete the journal page for the book-in-a-bag. Your child should use their book-in-a-bag book to complete the writing. Please encourage your child to sound out the words on their own. This is going to strengthen their writing and letter sounds. 

Enjoy the long weekend!
