Weekly review

Thank you to everyone who came to open house last night! It was a great success! Also, thank you for the money to the scholastic book fair. I was able to purchase 8 new books for our classroom library! We got books about monster trucks, sea animals, princesses, and many more!

Reading

We continued our poetry unit this week with the poem "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle." 

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

Tune: Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

This is what we should do,

Protect our planet, reduce our trash.

Reuse containers, recycle for cash.

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

Yes, we can make it clean!

For it’s up to us to help out.

We can keep Earth green!

Our weekly reader this week was all about babies animals in spring which neatly ties up our learning about plants and moves us into animals. Next week we will begin looking more into animals in different habitats to finish up our year. We will celebrate this learning through a field trip to the zoo on June 5. (more information to come about the field trip)

Math

In math we have continued practicing adding and subtracting within 5. We completed two different dice games this week, subtract 1 and bunnies chasing chocolate. We also practiced addition using snap cubes and flashcards. Continue to practice at home adding and subtracting within 5 for fluency.
