Our letter of the day was Uu. We learned that Lauren is the only one in our class with a u in her name. Students highlighted Us in the poem "Little Umbrella." As a review of last Friday's letter Oo, students completed a worksheet in which they had to find pictures of things with the short o sound. In math we talked about patterns. Not everything we see is a pattern -- it's not a pattern unless it repeats. We created a movement pattern in which students made up a movement and we repeated it around the circle. For example, jump, wiggle, clap, jump, wiggle, clap... We read the book It's Mine and learned the vocabulary words bickering, defiantly, and harmony. Our Star of the Day was Joe R. We learned that Joe has 3 cats, 1 dog, rides a bike, likes lizards, and likes the colors blue and green. We played BINGO as a review of number recognition 1-10. Students had gym class and then they had a hearing screening. If your child seems to have any hearing problems, you will receive a follow-up letter in the next week or two. We read 3 Robert Munsch stories and thought they were really funny! Busy day, huh?! Thanks to Gwen and Jodi for helping during centers today!
