Hello!

Hope everyone had a good weekend, sounds like a lot of camping and Easter egg hunts happened.

We worked on the letters i, j, and k this week, putting them into our alphabet books.

We started a discussion about addition and subtraction, creating a chart about strategies we use. We are still working on it, should be posted next week.

We started looking into spring, and all of the changes we see. We practiced drawing some spring items, in preparation for an art project in a couple of weeks.

With the spring season in full bloom, we started talking about plants. On Friday I put together some beans in a bag and beans in a CD case. We made some observations in our plant book, and hopefully by Monday we will see some action (I’m not the best gardener, so here is hoping).

We finished off our throwing and catching unit in gym, by playing an altered game of handball. Next week we will work on skipping again, getting ready for the Jump rope for heart next Friday.

Next week we will learn more about plants, our chicks will be hatching and we will finish off our work on chickens, and we will work more on addition and subtraction.

Have a good weekend, and see you Monday.

Hello!

We finished up our measurement work this week with learning how to use ruler! A higher grade level achievement, was a lot of fun to measure things in our room.

We went over the letters G and H, reading our tracing books and adding to our letter book.

We practiced our drawing with bunnies and chicks!

We created a nice Easter bunny picture, using a paint background.

On Thursday we dyed some eggs and made baskets with our big buddies. The dye was not the best… Only red and purple worked. Next time paint! Everyone had a lot of fun, we ended the day with extra center time and bunny hats!

We have been learning about throwing and catching in gym this week, working on tracking objects through the sky.

Pizza and coffee orders went home for fund raising. April book orders are due next week, and May forms will be sent out soon.

Next week we will start learning about plants by growing beans, and our chicks will be hatching the week after. So much going on!

Enjoy the long weekend, and see you Tuesday.

Hello!

A big week for being so short. We had our open house on Thursday, where parents were invited to see what we have been learning about all year.

In math this week we went heavy with our measurments, using different units to measure classroom objects.

We created a shape collage using circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles. They are displayed outside our room.

We worked on the letters E and F, reading through our books, and adding them to our ABC books. No E art yet, as we have just started incubating our eggs, so soon we will have chicks!

Next week we will work on the letters G and H, and look more into chickens!

Hope you have a good weekend, and see you Monday.

Hello!

Welcome back! Hopefully everyone had a fun two weeks off. We got right back into it this week, with some new letter word.

We have started using printing and home reading letter books. We practice our printing on the lines, then read the simple sentences. This week we have looked at reading the words “I”, “am, “the”, “is”, and “little”. Each book adds a new word to practice, and will take us into June with our letters.

We have also started putting together our letter booklets. You will be able to see these during our open house next Thursday.

We have started looking into measurement this week, reading the book “Inch by inch”. We went around the room measuring things with our own “inch” work. We have also started looking into using different units to measure.

We made x is for x ray, and y is for yellow and yoyo. Almost finished off our alphabet art!

Next week we will be hosting an open house on Thursday, from 1130 to 1230, and 430 to 630. Come by to see what we have been working on, and some learning stations to participate in.

Enjoy your weekend and see you Monday.
