Dance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with me under the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dance on <\/p>\n\n\n\n

on the hill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our focus for this week was on letter N<\/strong>. The explorers were learning how to trace, identify, & choose their favorite images of the letter of the week, letter N<\/strong>. They created their “Letter N mini-book”<\/strong>, a “We Need Letter N”<\/strong> book, and a poster of “My favorite of letter N”<\/strong>. We are still learning our core word “Want”<\/strong> in which we are using our book “When I want”.<\/strong> Also, we created letter N<\/strong> posters from construction papers and glued small pieces of a newspaper. As you know, the word “newspaper<\/strong>” starts with letter N<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Story time was about “If you give a pig a pancake”<\/strong> book. We were examining our reading comprehension by answering questions such as, “What book did we read?”<\/strong> and “Who was the character in the story?”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this week’s math, we still working on shapes.<\/strong> The explorers worked on identifying, tracing, & playing with shapes figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you so much Adam, Dante, & Lana the fourth graders from Ms. Polster’s classroom for reading part of “Wizard of Oz<\/strong>” book with my students this Thursday. Guys, you ROCK!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it is March and it is the reading month, the explorers created posters with their favorite books’ pictures, and we hang them outside our classroom on the hallway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, my explorers had a great and fun time during their visits to the Art, Gym, and Music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
