Math:
Please practice counting by 2s, 5s, 10s forwards and backwards. You can use a one hundreds chart to help. We started exploring movement patterns today. Students made up their own movement and sound patterns with up to 3 elements (AB) (ABC). Ask them to show you. You can challenge them to make a movement pattern with up to 5 elements. We learned that patterns have to repeat a minimum of 3 times to be considered a pattern.
Language Arts:
We learned about 'Read to Someone' today. Students Practiced sitting EEKK and using a quiet voice to read to their partner. Reading out-loud helps us build fluency and to not read like a robot. During Free Writing we learned about how to use The Five Senses to write with more detail. If you would like to practice some writing at home, you can ask your child to use some of the following sentence starters to describe their day.
