This week in reading, our phonics pattern was long o, spelled like oa (boat), oe (toe), and ow (bow). Since it makes the long vowel sound, we mark it up with a long line over the vowel team. Our High Frequency Words were: find, food, more, over, start, warm.
In reading, we practiced reading long o patters using books about animals surviving in nature. We read Go Wild, Fish Faces, Go Gator, Beautiful Birds, and Fantastic Fish. We worked on finding the main idea and supporting details of these non-fiction texts.
In math, we took a quiz on Topic 9: Comparing numbers with tens and ones. Then, I introduced analog and digital clocks. We learned the face, the minute hand, and the hour hand on analog clocks. They learned how to tell time to the hour using the term o'clock. The students logged onto Splash Math and worked on parts of an Analog Clock and Telling Time to the hour. We will continue to dive into telling time to the hour and half hour next week
- Random Acts of Kindness week is next week! Redwood is trying to fill up our front showcase with random acts of kindness the students have done. We sent home a card stock paper for the kids to write their kind gestures on. Cut them out and return them to school as each act of kindness is done. We discussed that a random act of kindness is something a child does without asking for a reward or praise in return. Random acts of kindness can really brighten someone's day!
- Yearbook orders are due February 22nd.
