What a Week!

My, what a week it is turning out to be! I wanted to let you know about the activities that we are doing (or at least trying to do) this week.

The letter of the week is Rr. The students highlighted Rr words in a poem during reading time. We are also learning to read a poem about a snowman. Each day we read the poem and then reconstruct it after I have cut the poem apart. This will eventually be a literacy station.

We are so fortunate to have our art teacher, Pam Savore come to us again and teach the kids how to use oil pastels to make a snowman. They look so cute hanging up in our room! I am always amazed at how unique each child's art is even though all the students are taught to create the same thing.

In math this week, we have been working with shapes again, symmetry and simple addition. We also have worked on graphing.

For science, we have been learning about the seasons and what causes them. The children have/will complete an art activity showing what the different seasons look like on a tree.

Friday we are thrilled to go listen to Derek Munson talk about being a writer!
