Math
Last week in math we completed our unit on measurement! While we had learned about height, length, and capacity in previous weeks, the end of our unit focused primarily on weight. The class enjoyed exploring this concept using balance scales to compare the weight of various objects in the classroom. This week in math we will begin working extensively on our math facts and building our fluency with our facts to 5. Please be sure to have your child review the flashcards that were sent home last week. We will be starting our addition "boot camp" tomorrow! :)
In Fundations last week we began Unit 5 in our curriculum. This unit focuses heavily on sentence reading, writing, structure and is a great way to help the students sharpen their sentence writing skills before heading to first grade! In addition to our work with sentences, we continue to review the sounds of the digraphs sh, th, ch, wh, and ck.
Writer's Workshop
The children have been working extremely hard to complete our class "All About" book which focuses on ice cream! Different sections, or chapters, of our book include: What is ice cream? What are the flavors of ice cream? Where do you get ice cream? and How is ice cream made? We are hoping to complete and assemble our book by the end of the week!
ABC Countdown to Summer!
Our ABC Countdown to summer will continue this week! Please be sure to check the calendar I sent home for each day's theme! Pictures from last week's days are featured below!
Insect Day!
Insect day was a HUGE hit! We had a great time learning about the characteristics of insects and even went on a bug hunt!
Joke Day!
Lots of laughs were had on joke day! Please be sure to check your child's Seesaw account to enjoy a special joke they recorded for you!
The class had a great time making special projects to showcase their jokes!
Kite Day!
Luau Day!
Room 202 was transformed into a tropical oasis for luau day! We kept the warm beachy vibes going by watching Moana on Friday for movie day!
Making paper bag pineapples was a highlight of our day! This fun project was a great addition to some "sweet" writing we completed.
Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon to see all that is new in Room 202!
