This week Alison Champlin worked with everyone during work stations on telling time. The main focus was telling time to the hour, but children also worked on telling time to the half hour. With the prevalence of digital clocks is not as easy to get regular practice telling time with analog clocks, but if you happen to have one encourage your child to try to tell the time.

We continued to work with 2-D shapes this week. Some of our shape creations are on display on one of the bulletin boards across from the gym. Next week we will look at 3-D shapes.

During reading everyone has been working on piecing together scrambled sentences. I have been randomly presenting the individual words from a sentence one at a time. After the children have read each word they manipulate them to make a logical sentence.

We have continued to read a lot of non-fiction books, recording facts as a group after the readings. I have asked everyone to be considering an animal that they would be interested in learning about for a short individual report.
