Week of May 6-10

We had a wonderful week in the Youngest Friend's Room! We were so excited to meet Governor Snyder and loved having him in our classroom!

Governor Snyder came in during writing time!

In reading this week we continued to work on rhyming words and nursery rhymes. We practiced different rhyming techniques and did a cut and paste activity where we had to match rhyming words. This week, we learned Pop! Goes the Weasel and Jack and Jill! We had so much fun reading and reciting our nursery rhymes as they help us learn to rhyme words as well. Next week we will study Fables.

We practiced sequencing the parts of the nursery rhyme in the correct order.

In writing this week we focused on a few different foundational skills including spacing words and stretching words out. We learned that when you are done stretching a word out and you don't hear any more sounds it is time for a rest or a space. We went through our writing folders and sorted pieces that were easy to read and hard to read and discussed the reasons why. Many times when a piece is hard to read it is because we forgot to use spaces. I am so proud of how far these writers have come!

Practicing our rhyming words.

In math this week we continued to focus on math partners and equations. Students are focusing on partners of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. They are coming along so well with equations! As the year comes to a close we will be moving into Geometry and continue to practice equations and math partners while applying them to real life situations.

In science this week we began studying earthworms. We studied what they look like, how they feel and how they move. We then journaled about our findings. This week we will continue to study earthworms and study the growth of our bean plants. So proud of these scientists!

We had so much fun observing the earthworms!
