What a fun week we had!
Reading
Our story this week featured familiar characters from Trucktown in "Smash! Crash!" This was a very fun story. Our Amazing words for this week are: perfect, proper, fabulous, dud, pirate, and signal. We have added two new words to our words we can read: 'to' and 'a.' We focused on the letter m and the sound /m/. We listened for the sound /m/ at the beginning of words and also at the end of words.
Math
We have been counting quantities up to ten and writing the numerals to represent those quantities. We are spending time with counters to show one-to-one correspondence for these numbers. Through our Calendar Time we have been able to skip count by 2's, 5's, and 10's.
Religion
Because we prayed the rosary as a school on Wednesday in lieu of Mass, we learned about the rosary this week. We learned that the mysteries are events in the lives of Mary and Jesus that help us grow closer to God. We focused this week on the Joyful Mysteries.
Social Studies
We have been focusing on cooperation as the theme with our Reading Street Program. This week we made posters to show community helpers. We also learned about Columbus, since Columbus Day is coming up next week.
Science
We learned about different kinds of animals and where they make their homes. We made little books about animal homes.
