The last few weeks have been busy, busy, busy!!! We have been busy reading all kinds of Jan Brett books, doing lots of reading and writing, and learning about polar animals. We have learned new sight words over the last few weeks and have been practicing them every day. Thank you for your help and continued practice at home! Please add the words an, and, he, she, and said to the list of words you have been practicing.
Last week, we learned about Groundhog day and celebrated the 100TH DAY of SCHOOL!!! We had so much fun doing activities with the number 100. Highlights included the partner dot game, race to 100, comparing volume and mass of 100 things, putting our 100 collections onto our jars, taking 100 steps, and doing all the fun 100th day rotations on Friday.
This week we are starting our unit on dinosaurs. Today we learned about the Triceratops. We learned that they were plant eaters, traveled in herds, had 3 horns, and they had a sharp beak. Things to look forward to during our dinosaur unit include making fossils, measuring dinosaur "tails" and making dinosaur skeletons. We have also started chapter 8 in our math series. We will be learning about the penny, nickel, and dime and learning how to tell time! These are great things to review at home with your child.
