We are off to a busy start in 2009! The students are working on the letter A this week and our new sight word is with. Today I introduced word families to the class. We are starting with the -an family (ran, can, fan, man, etc.). The class has picked up on this concept well and will be learning a new word family each week. They have a pink sheet with words to practice in their cubbies and will bring them home on Friday in their folder. Here's a few examples of the sentences that they are learning to read:
Can I fan the man?
I can fan the man.
Can the man fan Dan?
The man can fan Dan.
Can Dan fan the man?
Dan can fan the man.
We are beginning Chapter 5 in math - Geometry and Fractions! The class will be learning attributes of solid figures and shapes, recognizing symmetrical figures, and comparing parts that are equal.
Thank you for remembering to send warm clothes for recess! Today everyone had snowpants, boots, hats, and gloves!
