Reading

During our reading time this week we read the Bears Loose Tooth. We described a tooth on a class chart, we made a graph of how many teeth we have lost. We also read other books that related to Bears Loose Tooth like Arthur Tricks the Tooth Fairy and Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist. Mrs. Heckman the school nurse came to visit us this week. She talked to us about our teeth and how to take care of them. She also gave each of us a new toothbrush!

Our weekly reader was called You Can Smile Like a Crocodile In the weekly reader we compared our teeth to animal teeth. Some animals have sharp pointy teeth while others have the same number of teeth as us (like beavers)

Here is our poem:
Loose Tooth

_____ had a loose tooth.
_____ wiggled it a lot.

If only it would fall out,

to leave an empty spot.

He/She wiggled a string around it

and tied it to the door.

Slam it went and it was sent,

skidding across the floor!

Math

In math this week we worked on sharing items equally between friends. We played a game with a spinner and snap cubes. We pretended the snap cubes were different types of treats. When we spun the spinner it would be even numbers that we then had to split between our partner and ourselves. We started to catch on quickly that 2 and 2 made 4 or that 6 was divided equally into 3 pieces each! 

Important Reminders:

Next week we will be doing a study on Dr. Seuss books to celebrate reading. Each day has a theme. A note is going home yesterday with the descriptions of each day.
