It has been such a colorful Eat the Rainbow week here at school!!! We have had fun trying many different fruits and vegetables that arrive at the end of the day for us. On blue and purple day we actually got to eat blueberry ice cream!!!! Wow! Learning to eat the rainbow will help us be our best healthy selves!
This week has been filled with our weather unit we have started in science. We are learning all about different kinds of weather we have and why we experience it. This week we began our third and final mission with Go2 Science. Beth and Curtis are taking us to Borneo to study biodiversity. The hypothesis for the mission is: Forests with large trees will have greater biodiversity than forests with smaller trees. We are going to learn so much about so much!!! The children are excited to get started! (and so am I).
We are continuing to practice reading like we are talking instead of word by word and making those sight words more automatic so we don't trip over them when reading our stories. We took a deep dive into the many variations of the story Stone Soup and will be making our own stone soup next week!
In writing we are naming different parts of a sentence, naming who or what the sentence is about, and naming the action word, or verb, in a sentence. There is a lot to unpack and understand.
In math we are working with teen numbers, formation of numbers, addition and subtraction practice, graphing pets, counting and number recognition through graphing , solving number problems, and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school, patterned 10 frames, tally marks, money, and days of the week.
Please make sure (as we approach mud season) that your child has dry clothes in case a change is needed. Also, it isn't the warm part of spring yet. It is still quite chilly and the expectation still includes boots, jackets, hats, and mittens.
Upcoming Events:
April 21-25- April Vacation
