Highlights of our Week

Hello families,

This week we wrapped up our opinion writing unit by writing reviews on topics that we each care about. Students wrote about favorite: songs, fruits, movies, games, pets, etc.










We read many books this week in honor of Earth Day and Arbor Day which will take place next week. We read: Earth Day, Every Day; One World, One Day; Recycle Every Day; The Family of Earth; and What Does it Mean to Be Green?

In word study we continue writing words with suffix -s (i.e. shells, walls, fans, chicks, pens) and think about spelling the base word before adding on our suffix -s. We also practiced many trick words: do, does, are, were, have, from, what, who, when, where, there, here.

In math we continued working on story problems, fact families, and fact power. We reviewed an old "Find 10, Add On" strategy and use representations and equations to show how to use this strategy to add two numbers with a sum larger than 10.





We filled up our heart jar again this week and celebrated on Friday with pajama day and watched "Toy Story" in the afternoon!
