Week of March 10-14

Do you like green eggs and ham?

We read the book Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss this week. The kids loved it! We are continuing to work on rhyming, phoneme segmentation, initial, medial and ending sounds and the short vowels.

Writing in our Green Eggs and Ham readers!

In writing this week we focused on not just labeling and writing words, but writing sentences! The kids did a fantastic job with this! We talked about how sentences have several words, spaces, an uppercase letter in the beginning and a period, exclamation or question mark at the end. Great job writers!

Fun with Spanish and La Comida (food)

In math this week we continued to work on our addition and subtraction equations, math partners and teen numbers. We also began learning what "greater than" and "less than" mean.

Hard working mathematicians!

In handwriting this week we worked on the starting corner capitals. We are really working on pencil grip and starting our letters at the top!

Bob Dean, the director of the Grand Rapids Children's Museum came to speak to us!

Field Trip this Thursday, March 20 The Snowman

Please send your child to school with a car seat on Thursday. We will be traveling to Sunshine Community Church in Grand Rapids to watch The Snowman. We will be leaving around 9:45 and returning around 1:00-1:30. We will be eating lunch there. I am checking to see but I am sure kiddos can still take a sack lunch if they order from school.

Notes/Reminders:

-please send your child's JRL book to school so they can check out a new book and be reading every night

-the first spelling test is on Friday! You should have received a pink spelling list. Spelling words are different than sight words. They can be sounded out and stretched out. It is good to have your child write these words out and do some "practice" tests with you at home!

-your child also should have received their most current sight word list 

Don't forget your green tomorrow! :)
