The children are learning about camping and practicing using transition words (first, next, then, last) to sequence events that happen when one goes camping.\u00a0 We are still working on completing the blueprint (graphic organizer). Next week, we will use these blueprints to help us complete our own books about camping. The children will be the author and the illustrator of their books! They will create the cover, title, write a introduction, tell the events as they happened (in order), and conclude the story. I am so excited to see how the children\u2019s stories will turn out!<\/p>\n<p>Spelling words for next week will be in the homework packet coming home <span data-term=\"goog_1526455858\">on Monday<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Math:\u00a0<\/strong>We took our -0 math quiz today. Today, I sent home the -1 flashcards for practice. We will take the -1 quiz on <span data-term=\"goog_1526455859\">Friday, March 31st<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Please continue to practice counting by 1\u2019s, 5\u2019s, and 10\u2019s to 100 with your child at home. Also practice counting to 30 by 2\u2019s (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20\u2026..).\u00a0 Other activities you can practice at home are using tally marks to count objects, identifying 2D\/3D shapes around the house of community, and really making sure your child has good one-to-one correspondence when counting (this means that they touch each object as they are counting and count all objects correctly).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Science: <\/strong>We are still learning about the basic needs of living things. This week we began comparing living and nonliving things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Social Studies: <\/strong>We are still learning about maps. We completed a few activities about maps (how to get to school from home, following directions on a map using steps and north, south east, west). The children are really enjoying learning about maps and talking about countries around the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Housekeeping Items:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Children need a snack <strong>each day!<\/strong> Please do not send candy as a snack. The children need a healthy snack each day such as fruit, crackers, cheese, yogurt, granola bars, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please put your child on readingeggs.com at home and have them do a couple of lessons each night.\u00a0 This can count on the reading log in the homework for some of the nightly reading! &nbsp; Upcoming Events 3\/29 Conferences (Only for families contacted by teacher) 3\/29 PBIS Celebration \u2013 Game Day (puzzles and board games&#8230;<br \/><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrsvensko\/2017\/03\/27\/news-from-mrs-venskos-room-13\/\">Continue reading &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":994,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-class-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrsvensko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrsvensko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrsvensko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrsvensko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/994"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrsvensko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrsvensko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/586\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrsvensko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrsvensko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrsvensko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
