Every Monday when we learn our new sight word for the week we do a fun activity called "Rainbow Writing". The kids have to use all of the colors in their box to write the sight word for the week. In the end they have a colorful sight word! This week our sight word for the week was "you".
On Tuesday we made Veteran's Day cards for the dad of one of our classmates. He appreciated them so much!
This week was "Custodian Appreciation Week". We made cards for our custodians to show them how much we appreciate all that they do for our school and our classroom.
In math we have been learning about addition and using addition to show the different ways to make a number. For example, you can make 5 using 1+4, 2+3, etc. To help the kids with this concept we started playing a game called "How many am I hiding?" It is such an easy game that you can even play it at home! First I showed the kids five counters. Then I asked them to close their eyes while I hid some of them. When they opened their eyes they had to figure out how many I was hiding. They loved it! They caught on how to play so quickly that they then asked if they could play with each other. The students played in pairs and took turns being the "teacher".
This week we started a two week study on different jobs and what people use to do their job. We read a story called "Whose Shoes" that showed pictures of different kinds of shoes people use for their job and then the kids had to guess who the shoes belonged to.
After reading the story we charted some of the different jobs we saw in the book and then made a list of some of the things that they use to do their job. Later we used our chart to make descriptive sentences!
Next week we will be learning about the letter Dd. Students are welcome to bring in items from home that begin with the letter "d".
Also, our school received an anonymous $100 donation to host an a cappella competition. All grades may participate. Keiki talent is the focus, but adult participation is encouraged. More details will be coming. Friday, Jan 29, 2016 is the competition date.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Kawai
