Math: This week in math we were introduced to some new vocabulary: weight, heavier, lighter, area and capacity. We began the week talking about weight and how to know if something weighs more than something else. We used a balance and made estimates using a variety of objects. Then we used our balance to see how close we were. We also learned about capacity. We used the words higher and lower capacity as we filled containers with uncooked rice. We made estimates and discussed how you know if something has a higher or lower capacity. We also talked about area. We estimated how many one inch squares it would take to cover up a rectangle on the smart board. Then we had to decide if we used smaller squares if we would need more or less to fill the rectangle. I was very proud of the math talk and strategies they used to come up with their answers! Awesome!!
Writing: We are continuing to work on our journals and book reviews.
Phonics/Language Arts: The blends we learned this week were: cl, fl,gl,pl. We were also working on comparing and contrasting for reading. We also practiced our snap words by playing ZAP!
Handwriting: We worked on the letters d and e.
Technology: This week we worked on typing number words and then going back and changing the size of the print.
Art: We made rainbows to hang from our ceiling. It officially looks like spring now.
