Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter (March 2, 2020)

Handwriting/Writing:  We are continuing to sequence using: first, next, last.  We will be looking at how food is made along with things that we like to eat and drink.  We will continue to review capital and lowercase letter formations and we have reviewed A-H so far.  Most of our writing has been using a period or an exclamation point for our punctuation but we have been talking about questions.

Reading:  We will be continuing our unit on “Why do we like stories?” and we will continually be reviewing: setting, plot, and characters.   We have been trying to pick out problem and solution when we write and read as well.  We will also tie in our sequencing from our writing to review reading stories.  Please continue to read each night for the book log and talk about the stories you read at home.

Math:  We will finish up our joining together unit (Addition).  We have been using objects, pictures, and classmates to act out and model addition sentences.  We are also very pleased to announce that we have met our Spring Math goal of Missing Numbers 0-20 as well as another goal of counting objects and write the number 0-10.  We are now working on counting objects and writing the number 0-20.  We had some ice pops and ice cream cups to celebrate!!

Science/Social Studies:  Our Dr. Seuss celebration week was a success!  We had several guest readers, tried Green Eggs and Ham, did some predictions, graphing, writings, and many different activities and centers all based around Dr. Seuss.  It was a blast! J
