PANDA NEWS:

 

Welcome back!  I apologize for the delay in blogging.   I hope you had a restful and fun vacation.  We are getting back into the routines of the classroom.  We are working on organizing our snow gear and getting dressed in a timely manner.  Any practice with this is greatly appreciated.

  

Language Arts:  

We worked on lowercase c, o, s, v, & w during the last few weeks.  We also worked on the word it and to. They practiced the word in several different ways as well as reviewed other sight words.  We also have begun to blend sounds together to decode simple cvc words.  We have been working on mid-year assessments.  This information will be used to complete progress reports, which will sent home at the end of January.

Math:

The Pandas wrote the numbers 1-20 for a math assessment.  We played a sequencing teen number game.  We also worked with the concept of addition and subtraction.  They also worked on number puzzles by finding patterns on the hundreds grid.  We continued to practice counting to 70 and are working on recognizing our teen numbers.

 

Art:  

We made Model Magic snowmen.   We also created painted snowman and stained glass mittens.
