Reading

During our reading time we read the book The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats. We learned the vocabulary words snowsuit, adventure, heaping, and packed this week. We also watched a movie of a boy pretending to be the main character from the story. In the video we saw this boy pretend to do all of the things Peter did and in the same order as the story. We made a class book about our favorite thing to do on a snowy day. We also sorted activities that are done on snowy days and on sunny days.

Math

In math this week we started our unit of Measurement and Data. We began by comparing things and deciding if we would want to carry them on a long hike up a mountain based on their weight (like a brick or a few toy blocks, bag of marshmallows or bag of pennies). We went on searches throughout the room to compare the weight of classroom items. We got to use a classroom balance scale to prove our estimations for heavier and lighter than as well.
