\nHappy Friday, y’all! Not sure about you but I’ve been working on report cards all week…but I’m happy to finally sing:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSo needless to say, this week’s recap is going to be short and sweet! Let’s start with compound words:<\/div>\n
\nMost of our literacy centres were focused on practicing identifying and writing compound words, and throughout the week we added to this little anchor chart:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThey loved writing words in our pancake.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\nI actually used this same idea last year<\/a> as well…but as they say: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!\u00a0<\/div>\n
\nFLASHBACK:<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nLast year’s<\/a> anchor chart was so much cuter!<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe also repeated an another activity for our pocket chart centre that is currently my number 1 most-downloaded freebie on TpT:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nIf you don’t already own it, click HERE<\/a> to snag a copy!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn math, we continued with 2D geometry by learning about symmetry:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nWe used these anchor charts to practice making various shapes and figures symmetrical before trying it out on our own. I find symmetry is often quite a difficult concept for some little ones to demonstrate independently but I have to say, my firsties ROCKED it this year!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThey were all about our symmetrical snowman:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n…And if you’re looking for some extra practice worksheets<\/a> to go along with a basic geometry unit, check out this new product I just added to my little shop:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nSo far we’ve used most of the 2D worksheets as centre activities and the kids really enjoyed them…especially the “Shape Search.” I’ve even used 2 as assessment pieces.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\nI won’t introduce 3D geometry until second term but I can’t wait to try those out!<\/div>\n

\nAnd that about wraps it up! Have a great weekend \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
