Weekly Recap

Math

This week our class used attribute blocks to practice sorting objects by three different attributes: color, shape, and size.  The students looked at many different examples and used problem-solving skills to determine what the objects had in common.  Have your students practice sorting skills at home using virtual manipulatives:  Sorting Attribute Blocks

The second letter our class learned this week was the letter "R."  The students rolled play dough into different lines and curves to create the letter R.  The students also used wood pieces, chalk boards, and their work books to reinforce handwriting skills for this letter.  Check out our word list below:
