A Peek at the Week...

Pizza Party!!!

We filled up our marble jar so we got to enjoy a PIZZA PARTY! It was also extra special because it was our para Wendy's birthday and she brought in cupcakes! Fun day!

Math..

This week in math we began our work on decomposing numbers. We learned that "decompose" means to "take apart." We started with the number 6 and spent two days on 6 and on number 7. We used our math chips to help us understand how to break apart numbers.

Reading/Phonics:

Letter Focus: R and S

Snap words: an, in

Reading Comprehension: Visualizing and Analyzing character

Writer's Workshop: This week we started our writer's workshop. We learned that we are all authors and illustrators. We talked about using our brave spelling and writing the sounds we hear. We wrote about our favorite animals and our families.

Science: We began our study of science concepts. This week we were introduced to the scientific method. We learned that scientists start by asking questions of things they are wondering about. Next they form a hypothesis (a guess). We also practiced using scientific tools. We will be doing our first experiment coming up soon!

Character Education: This week we learned about Energy Hare-y and Space Invader! Ask your child to tell you about them and what they do when they pop in our brains.

A cute pic of Lucy circling the letter S in our poem on the smart board. We do this with each letter and also have our own poem book that we work on at our table spots.
