Week of Learning 2/22

Reading:
We read some classic stories by Laura Numeroff this week. Even though they were fictional, they did not have the typical character, setting, problem and solution, which the kids picked up on quick. Instead they realized that it was a circle pattern story with the ending being exactly the same as the beginning. 


Here we create one of our favorite characters we read about and wrote what we would give them, and what they would ask for. :) They are SOOOOO cute!!! I heart them!
 







Letters and Sight Words:
Our sight words this week were great at teaching decoding strategies when we come to a word we don't know. We were able to slide through them for mom, try a different vowel sound for my, and if we knew came, we knew same.
I thought his angry eyes were funny!
Math:
We learned about weight this week!


We were measuring things in the room that were heavier or lighter than our water bottle. See how she is a scale?

We measured lots of things in the room to compare their weights and see how many cubes it actually weighed.





We also made these!




In small group math, we talked and colored number patterns on a hundreds chart. 


Unit Study:
We finished out unit on Famous Americans. These were the 6 we learned about and kids made their favorite one and wrote about him/her. 
Betsy Ross
George Washington
Martin Luther King Jr.

Chief Powhatan
Abraham Lincoln
5MTOW:
Write sight words on the bathroom mirror with a dry erase marker to read before, during, after brushing teeth.
