I want to thank the class for two amazing things they did today! In the morning, we had our regular independent reading time, and today we jumped from 5 to 7 minutes, and it was PERFECT! Great reading behaviour! We're hoping for 10 minutes tomorrow!!!
I was also impressed when we cleaned up our math books and came to the carpet in record time! I know that people were helping each other put books away and push in chairs. Thank you!
In math, we are continuing to practise our backwards counting from 10 to 1 - we're getting really good! Keep practising! We're also working on extending and creating patterns involving colours, sizes, shapes, or a combination of these variables. I'm thrilled with what the kids already know, and how excited they are to show me! You can review patterning at home by starting a pattern (e.g., big spoon, little spoon, big spoon, little spoon) and asking your child to add the next 3 things. You can use just about anything to build a pattern. Lego or blocks are great, but you can get creative. You can even make clapping patterns!
Have fun!
