Week of January 13-17

We were so hungry this week we ate through lots of apples, grapes, strawberries, cheese, crackers, bananas, pretzels, watermelon, lollipops, cookies and more! (Only one cookie and one lollipop ;)

The caterpillar ate through some of our food! (I had to tell the kids it was just pretend because they didn't want to eat the food at first) ;)

We had so much fun making our hungry caterpillar pattern necklaces!

In reading this week we continued to read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. We practiced retelling the story and sequencing the events in the correct order. Students were given their very own hungry caterpillar books to take home and practice, focusing on the sight word see.

What a yummy feast!

In writing this week we practiced telling true small moment stories. We learned that true stories are something that really happened to us. They tell who is in the story, where the story takes place, and what the characters are doing. These writers did a great job with this!

In math this week we continued working on addition problems and creating new shapes out of shapes we already know. Next week we will begin working more with subtraction. Great job mathematicians!

Beautiful math artwork!

In social studies this week we learned how to read and draw maps! We created a map of our classroom in partners and did a great job working with each other to create a win-win map!

Creating classroom maps together!
