What We Usually Do
Our class is like real school. We have lunch breaks and some people are at daycare or in tree houses. We do writing that is really fun. Also, in reading, we read a lot and it is so much fun. And in math, we study shapes and time but mostly shapes now. During our lunch break usually people eat lunch and play. During phonics, we learn about words and digraphs.

Reading
We are learning about non-fiction books in reading. We watch videos of co-teachers and they read us a book, like non-fiction books. They are teaching reading strategies. We are learning how to do partner reading the nice way.
Phonics
by Jaishri & Prisha
In phonics we learned about vowel teams like "ai" the "a" says "a" and the "i" stays quiet. "EA" like in treat, but the "a" stays quiet, too. A vowel team is when two vowels work together to make one sound. Like rain and boat. Sometimes the vowel team makes the other sound like "ow" says "o" our "ow". "Ay" in play, but the y does not talk, it stays silent. "Oo" makes "o" sound. "Ee" makes the "e" sound. Sometimes the "y" makes an "e" sound. "U" make and "oo" sound like in blue and glue. "Ow" in flower is makes "ow" and in rainbow it makes an "o" sound.
Writing
We write weekend news about what we do in our life. We do how-to writing and teach someone how to do something. We are learning about fixing problems around us. We also learn about how to use good handwriting. Pictures help the readers know what to read.
PE - Physica Education
by Vivasvan & Uu Vu
In PE we do stretches and take breaks. You make your heartbeat a lot. In PE you make your muscles strong. We want to go to school to do PE, play, and cool down. We want to get strong.
