We review our Alpha Friends daily.

We introduced the sight word: it

We are “stretching sounds” and recording what we hear in our journals.

We continued our introduction to Opinion writing, writing our opinions about our favorite book.

We finished reading stories by Eric Carle.

In handwriting we are beginning practice with letters that have straight lines and slanted lines! – this week we practiced M.

In math we continue to have “number talks” using our ten frames and we continue to practice writing numerals 1-20.  We introduced the concepts of “greater than” and “less than.”

We visited our special classes, Gym, Art, Music and Media.

We rotated through our Daily 5 Literacy Centers.

We attended the jazz band concert (students from Bryant Middle School) as our weekly behavior reward.

In Science we are discussing the needs of plants and animals.  We made bird feeders to hang outdoors and we discussed why animals need shelter.

Science Boards (Gummy Worm project) are due next week.  The students will present their boards in class before Science Fair Boot Camp on Thursday night.
