Week of May 12-16

Greetings from the Youngest Friend's room!

We had so much fun this week learning about fairytales and folktales! This week we looked at the story The Three Little Pigs. We have also been reviewing the 7 Habits. This week, we studied Synergize, Think Win-Win and Seek First to Understand.

Researching our garden ideas in pod!

In reading this week we studied the /sm/ and /sn/ consonant blends. We reviewed the short vowels and practiced finding them when making different cvc words, or consonant vowel consonant words.

Working on the /sm/ blend during centers.

In writing this week we practiced looking at our writing using the eyes of the reader. We tried to keep in mind what the reader would be seeing, hearing, etc. when reading our writing. We also continued to practice using different tools in the room, such as the word wall, abc banner, and our own personal word walls.

In math this week we practiced writing numbers 1-100! Students did a great job with this. As we were writing numbers 1-100, we found several different patterns that made it even easier. Way to go mathematicians!

Learning how to serve in L2BF!

In science this week we investigated different questions we had about motion. We were able to use the new playground to investigate some of our questions! Some of the questions we had were: 

Why does the bridge move when we walk on it?

Why do we move down the slide?

Why do our arms feel pulled when using the monkey bars?

These little scientists had so much fun exploring and experimenting with motion outside!

Notes/reminders:

-spelling test will be this Friday

-sight words tested on Thursday

Have a great week!
