Week 25

Hi all! Hope you had a great and restful weekend. Here are a few of the things you need to know for this week. I am still collecting some recyclable materials if you guys still have any boxes around the house!

Wednesday: Popcorn day and Library day
Friday: Spelling test, St. Patrick's day dress up and Scholastic book orders due.

Language: We continue to learn about various letter combinations this week including 'or,' and 'qu.' We then use these words in our writing journals. We also read the story 'The Bad Mood" this week and wrote about a time when we were in a bad mood and what we did to fix it. The kids have also been looking through simple spring themed reading comprehensions that they are to do independently. This has been a struggle for some but they are getting much better at answering questions based on what they read.

Math: We looked at addition within 20. We practiced everyday how making ten or near doubles can quickly help us to answer the questions more quickly. We will continue this week and start looking at subtraction within 18.

Science: We finished up our Pinocchio puppets at the beginning of the week. Then we moved on to building a Captain Hook's ship. We used our Chromebooks and Google Draw to plan out how we wanted to build our ships. We continue to talk about the importance of fasteners and having a plan when building.

Gym: My week in gym we practiced pass and catching a ball with a buddy. We talked about when is it good to use an underhand throw versus an overhand throw. We then played some cooperative games for the second half of class.
