Wow what a wonderful, busy week we had back after our relaxing Chuseok break.
We finished off our This Is Me! unit in IEYC. We practiced crossing the road safely by role playing in the hall, practicing with small world figures on our car mats, and actually going outside to cross the road outside of school. The students did wonderfully. They enjoyed it so much they continued to role play when we had our play time after the class. We explored friendship by making friendship bracelets for each other. We also explored cooperation by working on a drawing together, a Lego structure together, and a a clay sculpture. We finished off by making a mural of puzzle pieces because we all fit together.
In Maths we finished off our Sort and Classify unit by exploring more and less and also identifying and predicting patterns. We made patterns with our bodies and also with manipulatives.
In Phonics we’re nearly done our alphabet! We finished up to letter Y today and we’ll polish off the alphabet on Monday with the letter Z and an ABC themed day on Tuesday. We’ll begin Initial Sounds later in the week.
Writer’s Workshop saw us to focus on adding writing to our stories. This will come together as Phonics starts to work more and more on initial sounds so we can write the first letter of the things we illustrate in our stories. In last month’s Writer’s Workshop unit we were Illustrators and now we’re Authors!
That’s all for this week! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you rested and relaxed on Monday!
