Tip: Does your child know fl, bl, cl, gl, pl, sl? These are some chunks.

Math- The children have been showing the two parts of an addition equation using different types of materials and drawing pictures. They have started working part of the math time in differentiated math centers where they are responsible for 2 activities that they rotate between. They are working on staying focused on the task at hand in order to finish in the allotted time.

Science- The children are working on their booklets called 

Describing The Stages of Human Beings. We have been discussing the characteristics of toddlers and children and writing about each. They are sorting pictures and stating why they think each picture belongs in a certain category. 

Writing- The children are learning to tap each letter in a word and write the letters down that they hear. This tapping forces them to say the word and listen to each sound. This gives them a strategy to lean on and gain some self-confidence when spelling.

Poetry- The children have been reading, singing and illustrating poems. Our favorite poem so far is Lollipops, Lollipops.
