Mrs. Weiser's Weekly Newsletter
October 7 - 9
Last week we finished up Wordless Books and we were so excited to begin our study of “If You Give A…” books by Laura Numeroff on Wednesday! The predictability of Numeroff's books has allowed us to feel confident while learning about our new comprehension skill of cause and effect. We found it so easy to understand how this story is a circular story by coming to the Smart Board and putting the story elements on the circle. We are also continuing to find the characters and the settings in each story. With our Numeroff study, we are learning how to respond to literature in a journal and on Wednesday it was so much fun filling out the pages dedicated to If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.
Last week we finished up our unit on building number sense confidence. We spent a lot of time working through centers that really helped us understand the 100’s chart. This week we moved into learning about addition and subtraction! On Wednesday we explored addition number stories and learned about number sentences and on Thursday we changed it to subtraction. We loved acting out addition and subtraction problems with our hands and arms. Please ask your child to teach you about "Gus the Plus" and "Linus the Minus."
