STUDENT OF THE MONTH: Charlee
Charlee is a great listener, respectful and always
thoughtful. Charlee’s favorite food is
pineapple, favorite color is pink and she has a dog. Her favorite thing to do is play on the
playground. Charlee’s favorite book is Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star!
She would like to learn more about cats. When she grows up she would like to be a
teacher.
READING:
Our big book is Zoo Borns.
We are learning about different kinds of animals. We will be discovering how animals are the
same or different.
LETTERS: Uu. Flippy Dolphin Beanie will help us flip
from short /u/ or long /u/ (using the magic e rule) when we are reading a word
SIGHT WORDS: for & have
VOCABULARY: behavior
& appearance
CATEGORY WORDS: animal parts
WRITING: We are reading different books to give
children an understanding of a small moment so we can then start writing our
own. Journals from March come home on
Friday!
SCIENCE & SOCIAL
STUDIES: We made our winter trip to
the butterfly garden to investigate what it is like in the winter season. The children found many flowers still had
stems with seeds attached. We talked
about the importance of those seeds for birds and animals for food during the
winter and also for the seeds to fall and produce flowers in the spring if it
was a perennial flower.
We are also learning about things that are living or
non-living and what living things need.
MATH: We played a
game called “what’s my rule”—I had certain children with something the same
(boys or girls, boots, buttons on their shirts, etc.) to come forward and the
children had to guess what was the same (or the rule). They were great at looking for
similarities!!!
We also are working on addition and subtraction and
continuing to look at 3D shapes.
Parents: Would you
rather have newsletters emailed, on paper or both? I will attach this to an email if you would
give me some feedback! I’m aware of one that
has no email so I will continue to send paper to them! I always add them to my blog on mcbain.org under
teacher pages.
Thanks for your help!
Have a fun and safe Spring Break!
