Week 21 Update

This week in Language Arts, we added the words "this" and "find" to our word wall. We practiced reading, writing, and making sentences with these words.
We also started our reading groups! The children listen to me read the story, then take turns reading the book to the group. There are about 4 children in every group. The small size lets us discuss the book and improve our reading fluency. Please allow them to read to you every night!
This week we read the book "I Love Bugs". It helped us practice reading our sight words and discuss action words such as paddle, swoop, and buzz.
In Math, we finished up Chapter 7 and will begin Chapter 9 this week. Chapter 9 focuses on measurement. Some upcoming vocabulary includes longer, shorter, and taller. We will return to money later in the year and will be focusing on Egyptian LE, not USD. 
In Science, we discussed the pattern of seasons and the order they occur in. 
In Art, in preparation for our trip to the Ceramic Cafe, we practiced coming up with design ideas for our tiles. We reviewed the concept of patterns and painted our ideas. 

Wednesday, March 6th, will be our trip to the Ceramic Cafe. Every child in our class will be in attendance!

Please keep in mind that the leveled reading books must be kept in the white folders. Every child was provided with one. This helps keep our books in good condition! 

Thank you Parents for your help!
