Welcome to week 8!

In English, we focused on letter L, practicing words that start or end with its sound, like lion, lemon, or bell. The kids also worked on “tricky words” (he, she, me, we, were). We’ve been reading full sentences, learning that they start with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

In Math,we explored data collection by using tally marks to count items. We also turned our data into graphs.

In Science, we got hands-on with an exploration of different materials. The kids experimented with combining items using yarn and sticky tape.

In Health, we discussed school safety rules to help everyone feel secure and happy.

In HASS, we explored the vibrant flower artwork of Indigenous Australian artist Jimmy Pike. The kids studied his bold, colorful style and created their own flower-inspired artwork.

Try at home:

– Look for tricky words in books

– talk about words that start with / end with sound L

-Have your child write or say a sentence starting with a capital letter and ending with a full stop, like “Lions are loud.”

-Tally and Graph: Ask your child to tally something fun
