Reading

During our reading time this week we read the book Everything Spring by Jill Esbaum. The story introduced us to different signs of spring as well as events that take place in spring. We dug deep into the book to learn to the meanings of the words fawn, meadow and fuzzy. We also talked about spring weather this week. Often times in March it is said that the weather comes "in like a lion and out like a lamb." We discussed these different types of weather and made a chart. Then we used this chart to make our own class book. We titled our book "Lion or Lamb?" Inside we completed the sentence "I am like lion/lamb weather because___. 

Math

In math this week we are building upon the concepts of more than and fewer than. Practicing these are helping us with number order and eventually will lead us into more addition and subtraction problems. In our math centers we continued to review measurement and data through exploration of measuring tools like snap cubes, butterflies, and footballs. Then we used the information from our measurement to record our data.
