I won't be in school tomorrow, so this blog is arriving a day early. Here is a glimpse of our week in the fish class:
Language Arts: We have been learning about the beginning, end and middle of books. The children illustrated the parts of The Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett. We sequenced the parts of our Shared Reading book, The Birthday Cake by Joy Cowley. The children learned how to "shop" for interest books during Readers' Workshop. We continue to work on letter sounds at the beginning and end of words during our phonics activities.
Math: The children have been working on +1 this week. We have also been doing other addition activities. A fun game they played was Addition Train where they rolled a dice labeled +1, +2, or +3 and built a "train" of 20.
Science: The children explored with a MOTION science activity kit. The used a ramp and various objects to see what happened when they were rolled down the incline. Please ask your child what s/he noticed.
