Hello everyone!
It’s been another fun week here in our Aurora class. We have had fun playing outside, learning about favorites in our UOI, and continued learning phonics.
UOI
Transdisciplinary theme: Who we are
Central idea: Well-being
Line of inquiries: What makes me happy? Are my friends happy?
Last week, we started our UOI by discussing what makes us happy and came up with some wonderful examples! We also talked about why those things make us feel happy. We even continued the discussion while playing outside!
We will share some of our favorite things for the next few weeks, starting with an easy topic – colors! We also introduced the phrase, “My favorite color is _.” and did a fun activity to help us practice it. Try asking your child what their favorite color is at home. It really helps them remember when they have a chance to use their English at home too!
Phonics and writing practice
We continued learning our phonics with the letter “B.” We used one of the letter-recognizing worksheets from supersimple.com to help us.

We also did some writing practice by tracing the letter. Last week’s tracing was easy for most of the students, but they found it more difficult this week. If you have time, please try to practice writing B at home too!
Thank you so much for reading, and see you again after golden week!
