This week at School
3/22 P2 Character Strength: Identifying & appreciating the good in others
3/24 Late Start Day - arrival @ 9:45 a.m.3/26 Read my Shirt & Hat Day
Welcome
We have two new friends who have joined our class from our St. Joseph virtual program. Genevieve Slavicek already knew some of our friends since she was in Young 5's last year. Zelda Mortenson is new to our district. They have both adjusted very well to our class routines and are great additions to our class! This means we now have 22 students in our class for when you send in snacks!
March Reading Maddness
We have had a great time listening to all of the great stories in our reading month brackets! We just finished voting on Round 2. In Round 1, most of the winners were books that also won in our class voting. We also spent time rating the text and the pictures and thinking about the stories in our Scouting Report. We are finishing up our opinion and letter writing unit by writing our opinions about some of these great books.
What Are We Learning?
In Language Arts we are comparing and contrasting while learning about how children's lives were different and the same long ago. We are learning that the words 'but, while" signal things that are different and the words "too, also" signal that things are the same. In phonics we are learning about digraphs, or as we call them, the H brothers. They are sh, ch, th, wh, and ph. We learned that when we see these combinations, they make a new sound. Look for these when you are reading at home.
In math we continue to work on using tens and ones to show numbers. We are also working on solving addition and subtraction number stories.
Another goal we have is to know the combinations of numbers
make 10 (like 8+2, 5+5, etc...).
In science we are learning about living things and what they need to live. We are learning how different animals need different habitats to find shelter and food.
Have a great rest of the week and enjoy this spring weather!
