The class has a great handle on classroom rules and routines! They rarely need reminders any more! If a child does need constant reminders for a behavior, and hey it happens to all of us sometimes, their monster in ClassDojo will also get a reminder.
ELA - We are working on different lines and pencil strokes that help with our handwriting and drawing. We have practiced vertical lines, horizontal lines, curved lines, and diagonal lines, cup, and hump. Students have practiced going left to right, top to bottom, and curving to the left in our writing.
Students have also been working on writing on handwriting paper. This paper helps our handwriting to be more uniform. When we write our letters we talk about the types of lines needed to write each letter. For example an uppercase t is a vertical line from the top blue line to the bottom red line and a horizontal line across the top.
Math -We wrapped up practicing sorting. Students worked on practicing positional words this week. Helping us to know left and right, over, under, top, middle, and bottom. Next we are moving on to patterns.
Social Studies - We continued practicing the different continents and oceans, as well as where we fit into all of this. 🙂
Bible Study - We have been learning various Bible stories. We have studied the story of creation and Adam and Eve.
Art - Students learned about pointillism this week and created their own pointillism pieces with paint and q-tips.
Students continued enjoying taking Brain Breaks and dancing to some silly songs on GoNoodle. After the 10th song we do on that site our avatar grows! We know that we need to exercise our bodies and this is a fun way to do it!
Students have learned some more with Mojo on our ClassDojo website.
