october was a busy month in the koala room. we worked hard to establish our routines and get some serious learning accomplished.
in literacy, we continued to explore words that rhyme in our word study with words their way. we are working to recognize when words rhyme, as well as coming up with our own sets of rhyming words. daily 5 allows time for small group instruction while the koalas are listening to reading, reading to a partner, working on writing, and exploring words. naming letters and letter sounds was a large focus of our work. bridges math has given us many ways to explore math. problems and investigations has us looking at combinations of 5 and ways to express that with written equations. in work places we have played games focusing on comparing numbers, writing numbers, subitizing, looking for patterns, and creating combinations of 5 and 10. home connections have been a great way to tie together what we are doing in the classroom and home practice. As we grow in our independence and responsibility, we work to tie our own shoes and zip our coats. the kids take so much pride when they are able to do this. WE practice every day!!
