Week of June 9-12

Greetings parents!

We had such a fun week together! We have been enjoying the nice weather together and try to get outside to learn when opportunities arise!

We earned a special treat and had a mini picnic outside!

In reading we have been reviewing the short vowels while really diving into the long vowels. This week we focused primarily on the long e. So proud of these readers and how far they have come!

Counting by tens to one hundred with Ms. Brook!

Working hard on the long e sound.

In writing we are having a blast working on our poems and looking at the world "through a poets eyes." We wrote a ninja poem together and our inspiration was a single blade of grass! It is amazing the creativity that stems from these young friends! Favorite quote of the week: "I learned that you can look at the world in different ways and learn in different ways like a poet would." Love it!

In math we are working on writing and counting numbers 1-100. The kiddos are doing so well with this! We are also learning to count by tens to 100. 

Planting our bean plants!

In science we are having so much fun learning about living and non-living things. This week, we planted our bean plants together. We will be learning about the parts of a plant as well as our bean plants grow. We are so excited to be gardeners as well as scientists this week!

Notes/reminders:

-last spelling test will be this Thursday. Please let me know if you need another copy of the words for your child!

Have a great week!
