Week of April 21-25

We had so much fun this week in our room!

In Brain Blast we had to find the object that is different.

In reading we learned the sight words he, she and can. We practiced these each day along with all of the short vowels. We studied the -ad and -en word families and practiced making words in these families. We also studied the L blends this week. We practiced forming, reading and writing words that begin with cl, bl, fl, sl and gl.

Our -ad family workbooks.

In writing this week we used the word wall as a tool to help us when we write. To make writing even easier, each kiddo received their very own personal word wall. Each friend was able to add words to their word wall that are special to them. The word wall tool helps us to write words quickly, or in a snap. That way we don't have to spend lots of time stretching out words we already know!

Matching the -en word with the picture by playing memory with partners!

In math this week we focused on subtraction. We are still working on addition but the focus is subtraction. We are using pictures, manipulatives, drawings and many other resources to help us become better mathematicians!

Working in our sight word books!

In science this week we learned about a push, pull and force. We learned that objects are moved when they are pushed, pulled and that a force has to be given.  We practiced pushing and pulling with different recess equipment. We made science posters and drew a picture of a push on one side and a pull on another side. Great work scientists!

Making our push and pull posters!

If anyone is able to donate a jar of pretzels for extra classroom snacks that would be greatly appreciated!

Have a great week!
