Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter (week of February 17, 2020)

Handwriting/Writing:  We will be working on sequencing a story using the words: first, next, last.  We will use pictures to support our writing.  We will also continue to review capital and lowercase letter formations (we went through Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd thus far). 

Reading:  We have started Unit 4, What can we learn from the past?  We will also be talking about what was life like in the past and how has it changed now.  We will be reading through some nonfiction texts to learn about these topics.  We were able to see an actual typewriter working in a video clip.  We also have been looking at how cars have changed from the past until now.

Math:  We have been working on Addition and counting groups all together.  We have talked about the plus sign and the equal sign.  We are also continuing to work on Missing Numbers to 20 in Spring Math.

Science/Social Studies:  We have been talking about kindness and following the SPARTY way and friendship in honor of Valentine’s Day.  We also started learning about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in honor of Presidents’ Day.  We will be working on Dental Health next.
