Here is a re-cap of this week’s activities:
Math: We continued working with place value. This week, we reviewed the mathematical signs: greater than, less than, and equal to. Students had to compare numbers using base ten blocks. On Thursday, students worked on a place value review packet.
Writing: This week, we created a color poem. Each student was given a color and had to write a poem about what their color feels like, tastes like, looks like, smells like, and how the color makes them feel.
Reading: Students participated in their regular reading centers. We finished our handwriting center and will now be working on digraph books. This week, we worked on the digraph, -ch.
Phonics: We started our unit on long vowel digraphs. This week, we focused on the long A digraphs, -ai and -ay. Students worked on their digraph packets this week.
Science: On Monday, we started our new science unit on what animals and plants need in order to survive their environment. This week, we discussed what humans need in order to survive and compared it to animals’ needs. We started an animal habitat book, where we are writing about all the different places an animal can live (e.g. hives, dens, burrows, oceans, shells, logs, etc.),
Social Studies: This week, I read the story, The One-Inch Boy, a Japanese fairy tale. We are comparing and contrasting Japanese tales to American tales we are already familiar with. During morning meeting, we have also been practicing learning how to say 1-10 in Japanese. We will continue to learn about Japan after Spring Break.
Have a wonderful vacation! Andrea
