This week, we continued to talk about eggs. The kids had fun "cracking" an egg to reveal a mixed up sentence. Each sentence contained the word "egg." Here, the kids are learning sentence structure, word order, and remembering that a sentence begins with an uppercase letter and ends with a period.
Making chocolate nests was the most fun! The recipe card will tell you how to make these sweet treats at home!
We went on an egg hunt! Each hidden egg contained a HFW. The kids walked around the room looking for hidden eggs, reading the HFW inside each one, and then marking it off their recording sheet.
We have been talking a lot about oviparous animals - animals that lay eggs. Everyone chose an oviparous animal and then wrote clues about their animal on an egg. Lift up the egg, and you'll find out which oviparous animal it was! These fun "Who Am I?" writings are hanging in the hallway.
This week, we began to explore digraphs - these are 2 consonants that make a new sound when blended together such as "sh," "th," and "ch." To work on "sh," the kids sorted shoes in a shoebox to find the beginning and ending "sh" sound. Then, they wrote the words. In this activity, the goal is for kids to recognize the "sh" sound as well as write it correctly.
After working with the "sh" sound, the kids had fun practicing tying shoes. At this age, shoe tying is very developmental and takes a lot of time and practice.
Our word family this week was E. Everyone is catching onto the word families so well! Be sure to read this book with your child. Our challenge was to write an additional word for each word family.
