HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am so excited to be back! Last week we struggled to adapt back to our normal routines and even Mrs. Kopper had her moments. BUT we are back on track and doing fabulous! Last week we talked about how we spent our winter break and shared stories of our adventures. We learned new games and new centers. We had such fun getting back into the swing of things.
This week we are learning all sorts of new things. We are learning what sound the letter r makes in new words. We are searching for the letter in our daily reading and writing. We are making the sound and writing the letter often so that we commit it to our memory. Come by the room any day this week in the morning and you will think that we have been over run by pirates. Arrrrrrrrrrr! I love my job and what I do!
This week we also learned some new math skills. We read some story problems and thought of ways to solve them. When I wrote the number sentence on the board for what we had just done one student exclaimed "Mrs. Kopper we are doing REAL math!" For the last two math sessions the students have hung on my every word, very eager to do "real" math! For now this will only be done in a whole group setting, but in the coming months students will be exploring addition and subtraction on their own and in small groups.
Until next time! Arrrrrrrrrrr Matey! :)
