Farm Lab

Monday we visited the Farm Lab and learned about how farms and the people that work on farms help us in our day to day lives.  The kids were then able to make a Symbolic Farm Necklace!

Upcoming Trip for Your Calendar:

May 16th -- Field Trip to the Dairy Farm--Dairy Discovery

 Reading/Phonics

We finished up Unit 3 by using our EXTRA Strength when using our reading powers.   We also have made the discovery how our reading powers are used both in reading AND writing!  As your child reads at home, ask them what reading power they are using...Snap Word Power, Word Part Power or maybe Sound Power?

This week we finished up writing books about penguins.  These came home on Wednesday!

It's time to start working on Unit 4 words!  See below...

Can your child read all these SNAP words?

Math

Continue to practice identifying the numbers from 0-20 at home and counting to 100.  

We are also working on counting beginning from any number.  

This week we play addition and subtraction games to continue to familiarize ourselves with those symbols and to become for fluent with adding and subtracting within 5.

Reminders

*  Send a snack daily several have been forgetting.

*  Send a water bottle daily...our drinking fountain is now working, too!

Take a Peek at our Week...

We read the Lorax and talked about ways to help our Earth!

We learned how to take information we have gathered (types of pets we have) and organize it into a graph.

Have a great weekend!
