In Language Arts

During Reader's Workshop we are learning and reading about Bats. Today we read a magazine article, as a class, about the Mexican Free-Tailed bat colony that lives under the Congress Ave. bridge. Toward the end of the week we will begin working on recording our "Bat Facts" that we've learned. Please remember to remind your child to bring/take home their Take Home Reader each day, Monday-Thursday!

During Writer's Workshop this week we are working on Stretching Sounds and writing words. We will also discuss how to spell the best we can and move on! We will share one of our stories in the Author's Chair on Friday.

Word Work this week is a vowel review.
Spelling words: wig, mop, sat, bed, can, bug

In Math this week we are beginning a unit on Addition and Subtraction, learning basic facts and strategies. We will practice subitizing, visual representation of numbers, and using numbers to help us solve problems. We will also work in math centers as we learn new strategies.

In Science this week we will study Soil. We will learn a song to help us remember what soil is made of and we will observe and describe different types of soil.

Show and Tell: Bring something made out of a natural resource.

Have a great week! The weather is beautiful!
