Week Of April 25th
Highlights from last week....
Thank you to all the parents that were able to attend our Family Math before vacation. The children were super excited to show off their math skills and to "play teacher" for the day. Thank you for your continued support!
In Reader's Workshop, we worked on how readers think while they read. We used our schema as we read our books. The children worked on making text to text connections while they read. They compared and contrasted characters in different stories.
In phonics, we focused on short vowels, digraphs and building words.
In Math, we worked on number bonds and number sentences up to 10. We focused on subtracting or "breaking numbers apart" this week. We focused on number stories, writing the sentence and creating a number bond to match the sentence. We focused on reading number sentences to determine if we should add or subtract the numbers in the sentence.
In Science, we continued our month long unit on life cycles. We learned about plants and Earth Day.
In Social Studies, we concentrated on identifying sequential actions, such as first, next and last in stories and used them describe the life cycle of a plant.
In our Second Step program, we continued to learn about our own feelings and how they can change.
