With the type of winter we are having, would we really be surprised if we have an early spring?? I'm still hoping for a snow day. We need to get a little sledding in, at least once.
Last week in phonics, we focused on the /ch/ sound. We wrote words that have the /ch/ sound at the beginning and at the end.
We also discussed adding -s, or -es to the end of words. Why would we add -es to a word? We talked about the sequence of events and our story this week was A Butterfly Grows. The students sequenced the life cycle of a butterfly (in a few months we will have butterflies in our classroom as part of our science curriculum).
In math, we continued discussing 10's and 1's. During math centers, we practiced our new skills while playing different games. We learned that 52 is 5 groups of 10 and 2 ones and it is also the same as 50+2=52.
In science, we made air and water fountains. We made bubbles by gently pushing air into the water in a bottle. We also used syringes to push air into a bottle which then forced the water out. We had to go outside for this experiment so we wouldn't have 11 "geysers" in our classroom.
A look at the week ahead:
In ELA - /ar/ Ann's Trip to the Stars. Comprehension - Author's purpose/point of view and summarizing. Grammar - Names of Holidays
In Math - greater than, less than and ordering numbers on a number line.
In Science - Balloon rockets.
This Wednesday is a half day and dismissal will be at 12:30.
We will be sending home an "at home" project for our 100th day. Keep a look out for the directions in your student's binder tomorrow.
Have a great week!
