Literacy And Kh Letter

Improved Essays
This week for Literacy, children learned the Kk and Hh letter. Children came up with words that start with the letter, traced the letter, named pictures that start with the letter, and read their My Kk and My Hh book. Children revisited their Halloween writing piece and added more details. On Thursday, children worked on word writing and practiced phonics for an assessment. Friday, children made “fire fingers” and wrote about a firetruck in their poetry journal. For math, children learned about hexagons, trapezoids, and rhombuses. They were able to place the shapes onto a paper design and experiment with different shapes.
