I hope you all had a wonderful Easter long weekend and enjoyed the sunny weather outside. Today, we have a new teacher working alongside Mr. R. and I. Her name is Ms. Poland. She and Mr. R. will be rotating between Mrs. Padovan's JKB class and our JKA class.
After introducing ourselves to Ms. Poland, we started off with language and learned a new letter, Qq. We learned to trace the letter Qq and also sang a song about ducks in order to learn how to sound out the letter Qq. We learned that Qq sounds like "qu", a sound we hear in the word "quack." We also did some crayon imprints with quarters because quarters also begin with the letter Qq. We used pennies as well because last week, we focused on the letter Pp for penny.
Following this, we did math, which focused on counting backwards from the number 5. We had a race in the gym and counted down from 5 (5..4..3..2..1..GO!) and ran. This was lots of fun. We also learned that we also count backwards for space launches and to go to sleep. We also used manipulatives (plastic toy counters) to help us count down from 5.
Following this, we had lunch and then worked on a transportation cut and paste activity. We also had reading buddies with Ms. Chang's 4/5 class. We had french class following this.
After second lunch, we had centers.
A few notes for this week and next week:
-Please bring an old sock (preferably white) for this Friday. This sock will be used for an outdoor activity that will be done on Friday. Since we will be using these socks outside, please bring one that can get dirty!
-Please bring a small toy car, or other small type of transportation, for Monday, April 16, 2012
Have a super, fantastic night!!!
Miss H.
