 Popcorn Words

 This week we learned: on and we

Words we know: a, I, it, in, see, big, my, like, up, run, 

This week during daily 5 we had a chance everyday to work on our popcorn words. These words were practiced using play dough, wikki sticks, snap cubes, and stamps!

Handwriting

In handwriting this week we practiced the capital and lowercase letter Oo.

Reading

During our reading time we read the book Apples, Apples, Apples. This is a fiction story about a rabbit family that takes a trip to an apple orchard.cat the orchard the family learns about different types of apples and their uses. Then each family brings home their apples for a different reason. The main character minna brings the apples home to make a special recipe. We learned several vocabulary words from their story including orchard, limb, and chart. We also talked about the parts of an apple. We made apple crafts to label the parts of the apple that we learned.

Math

This week our focus in math was reading and writing numbers 8, 9, and 10. This week practiced these math skills in our weekly centers. We focused on these numbers using stamps at our stamping station. Playing math games on our computers and iPad. We also matched numbers, tally marks, and chips in our puzzle center. .as a reminder If you notice any worksheets coming home unfinished this is because the students are not expected to finish a recording sheet as long as they were working at the center the whole time. To go along with our reading story we talked about our favorite apple recipe. We then made a class chart to show what we liked best such as apple sauce, apple pie, a regular apple, apple juice, or caramel apple. Then we compared the numbers from our data to find what had the most, least, or the same.
