Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It was a MUCH better week this week in regards to attention, focus and being active learners!  Thank you for your help with this at home!  Hopefully we can have another successful week, full of learning, before Spring Break!

A look at our learning...

Shared Reading: we read the big books Get In and Polly Gets Out to help us practice our word wall words she and he.  We also learned the silly poem called The Lucky Leprechaun.














Next week's new word wall words:
do
to


Fundations: check out the paper in the Friday Folder and ask your child to tap out and spell the week 3 and 4 words for you over the next week or so.  

Math: we continue to focus on addition and subtraction through story problems.  We also had fun using dominoes to help us with addition (you can add the two sides together).  Check the Friday Folder for more ways to extend math learning at home.  Below we are working on EveryDay Math games online.  Don't forget you can access this at home as well.  



Writing Workshop: most friends have finished up their 2nd informational book about penguins.  We have switched our learning to elephants and have learned many interesting facts!  
Next week we will be writing and finishing up our elephant informational books.  We will also be taking our informational writing assessment on Thursday.  This will help me see strengths each child has with this type of writing and areas where they can grow over the last 2 months of school. When they do a writing assessment they do it independently. They do not have help from me or their friends.  They are doing a great job with this unit of writing!  Ask your child what cool facts they have learned about elephants!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
That tricky leprechaun destroyed our room while we were in the tech lab!  Lucky for us, he left behind some of his gold!
