Ms. Mikki’s Classroom News
January 26th
This week: This week we read and re-read the story The Mitten by Jan Brett. On the first day we used picture cues in the story to predict which animal would try to squeeze into the mitten next. We also learned some new vocabulary words from the story and compared them to the words we already know:
Glinty talons (claws)
Diggers (paws and claws)
Kickers (rabbit's foot)
The second time we read the story, we again used the visual cues to predict and recall the events in the story. Each student also shared what they wanted to fit in their mitten.
Vocabulary: Shapes words: Circle, triangle, square, rectangle, oval.
Literacy: We continue to work on recognizing and naming the letters in our name. We also learned a new song to help us learn our letters and the sounds they make. You can follow this link to view the song.
Shapes: Keep working on those shapes at home. This week we went on a shape hunt around the classroom. During small group, we sorted shapes and worked on naming the shapes. We all get a little hung up on rectangle and most are still confusing it with the square. I remind them that a rectangle has two longs sides and two short sides.
