This week the Betas learned triple digit addition and subtraction with regrouping!! These are among the toughest skills we’ll tackle this year due to the number of steps involved. We’ll continue working to strengthen these skills all year, but having laid a strong foundation feels like quite an accomplishment.
Book Clubs are wrapping up for the year! Flat Stanley has finished their first adventure and our Fly Guy girls are poised begin their third (and final) book from the Fly Guy series. Last but not least, our Ready Freddy group will continue with Yikes, Bikes! in the new year.
In phonics this week we studied spellings of the long i sound: i, i_e, igh, ie (at the end of words) and y (at the end of single syllable words). Our sight words were: sky, try, give, live and right.
In writing we’re all busily writing the final drafts of our biographies! We’re using our best handwriting and taking extra care during this publishing phase.
We kicked off the week with a presentation by parents & engineers: Katie and Josh Hehman. We saw some really cool robots and learned about how they help humans in the workworld. We peeked inside factories to see food being packaged at dizzying speeds and learned how massive engines can be! It was incredible.
The kids are in full swing, creating carnival rides and booths for their Peeps. Our room may not look awesome, but we are making and learning awesome things!
We are also at the very beginning stages of an art piece- coming soon!
