1. Mrs. Jensen’s News March 4th – March 8th, 2019 What are learning!
We focused on reading Eric Carle books. Ask your child about the comparing and contrasting we did with his stories. We have a very observant class!
Our character education books have been a nice addition to our reading this week!
We’ve discussed how it feels to be angry
and what we can do to calm ourselves .
Ask your child:
What is ENEMY PIE? How does it taste?
Can you show me how to do RAINBOW
BREATHING? How does it help you?
Is there anything wrong with feeling angry?
Our main focus this week was on letter Hh. We did continue to review the other letters throughout the week too! This week we worked on:
are, do , that (new words)
they, where, here (review)
* Color words and numbers words
continue to be a challenge for many.
In math, we discussed volume (full, not full, empty). We are continuing to work on all the different ways to make 10. We drew imaginary friends using specific directions. Your child gave their creation a name too!
In science, we talked about the weather coming in like a lion and going our like a lamb. We also played a game and watched a video.
With all the sick kids our this week, we talked
often about germs and learned how hand
sanitizer kills the germs when we aren’t
able to wash our hands. You’ll have to ask
your child what germs look like. Many
thought germs looked silly!
*** GREATNESS WORD: Self-control
Important Dates
