We began today writing about our weekends. Everyone is getting much better at expressing themselves in writing!!
We also learned about the short vowel U sound, the QU combination, and the Z intial and final sounds.
We also did a bit of Adjective Review. We solidified what we knew as describing words. You can do this at home by asking "What kind of glass?" or "How many M&MS?" Those will help firsties use adjectives in conversation.
We had some GREAT center time today, working on all different literacy skills. Ask what center was your kiddo's favorite.
Here are some short U activities to work on at home this week:

In the afternoon, we zipped through our math test, then we reviewed our Jesus event for the week. There were plagues on the people of Egypt, because Pharaoh would not follow God's command to let the Israelites go! What was the final straw, the one event that led Pharaoh to say "GO!"?
We practiced our memory with PICTURES today! It's a great one for that!
Right before an EXTRA RECESS WITH BUDDIES, we listed all that we already knew about magnets. We are about to learn SO MUCH MORE this week!
NO homework! Check bags for notes and finished work! See you tomorrow!
