READING:
This week we will be working on the digraphs th & wh, as well as the prefix re. Our focus text is Hush a Thai Lullaby which we will use to work on comparing and contrasting. We will introduce the sight words said & his and students will learn a couple of new apps that they can use during literacy stations on their iPads.
WRITING:
This week we will continue to work on our newest Informational Booklet; we will spend several days editing, revising, and adding to our books and then conferencing with our peers. We will create a class book about Mrs. Wishy Washy and some of the silly things she washes. We will also complete a journal page about the different things we like to do on a rainy day.
MATH:
This week we will be using Google Earth to draw a map of our playground. We will continue to practice identifying and naming coins and 3-D solid shapes. We will create a Class Number Story Book using pictures and equations to show addition and subtraction stories. We will also be building 3-D solid shapes using straws, toothpicks, & marshmallows.
SCIENCE/SOCIAL STUDIES:
This week we will continue learning about ‘weather’ and how the weather changes with the seasons. We will also continue our study of lifecycles. The Bell family has brought in their incubator with 24 chicken eggs. We are anxiously counting down the 22 days until the chicks emerge.
