Congratulations to Gio who was our Star Student last week! We look forward to learning about, and celebrating another friend from our class in the week ahead!

Curriculum Update:
Fundations
Last week in Fundations we learned to read the sight words this and that. We also continued to practice building our reading fluency by chunking or "scooping" sentences, as well as putting words in the correct order to make sentences that look and sound right!
Reader's Workshop
We continue to develop our reading skills as we work through our Avid Readers unit. Last week the students practiced bringing their stories to life by acting them out! We also used speech and thought bubbles to make predictions about what characters might be thinking and feeling or saying in given situations. In next week's lessons we will think and react to nonfiction texts!
Math
In math we continue to practice solving addition and subtraction story (word) problems. We also counted and compared numbers by playing a fun game called Bug Catchers! 🪲
Science
Our caterpillars continue to grow and thrive! Last week we enjoyed watching them as they formed their chrysalises, and on Thursday we transferred them to their pavillion where one quickly emerged as a butterfly! We are hoping to find more butterflies have made their way out of their cozy chrysalises when we return to school tomorrow! 🤞
