Last week we were brainstorming different community helpers, and different types of communities. This week we have been adding community helpers to the different types of communities they belong in. We discovered that many community helpers are necessary in all types of communities, but some like news reporters are mostly found in the city while farmers are mostly found in the country.
This week we have started a new unit on communities. We have been discussing how there are different types of communities and different people in them. For example we had been talking about how farmers are found in rural (country) areas. While making a chart of urban, rural and suburban communities. One student looked at the fish tank and said "The fish tank is a community, because it has 3 fish all together in it".
We have been investigating the letters s,a,t and i. We have discovered that letters are all around us. One student noticed that 'English letters are in French words' so we have been talking about how the letters are the same but their letter name and sound may be different. We are investigating the letter name, sound of the letter, and words that start with that letter. Today we were using letter cards as flashcards and to build words.
