Reading

During our reading time this week we read the Rainbow Fish and Sharks. Rainbow Fish was a fiction story that tied in friendship. Sharks was a nonfiction book all about sharks. We compared the different text features of the fiction and non fiction stories. We also compared sharks and fish using a venn diagram.

In math this week we finished our unit on 3-D shapes. We reviewed the shapes and then applied what we had learned to looking for everyday objects that were made of these shapes. We also started looking at positional words in math such as below or above.

Popcorn Words

Thank you for your support in helping the students remember to bring these popcorn rings back and forth. These rings should be bright back to school everyday so that we can continue to add more words as we learn them. These words should be practiced as quickly as possible to help the students with their fluency and recognition of the words.

Reading

During our reading time this week we read the book Chicks and Salsa by Aaron Reynolds. His story is about farms animals who become bored with their food choices and decide to cook up some southwestern inspired dishes. This story lead us to our discussion of farms animals. We practiced researching information. We researched as a whole class about horses. We completed a horse research journal as well as a culminating project of a horse. Since we were learning all about horses we learned about the Kentucky Derby too.

Math

In math this week we learned the characteristics and attributes of 2-D and 3-D shapes. We looked at triangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, spheres, and cylinders. We searched for everyday objects that are made up of these shapes for example a soccer ball is a sphere and a Kleenex box can be a cube. We also sorted and classified these shapes based on their attributes.
