- Reading- Last week we started reading lots of wonderful Spring books, hoping that would bring on the warm weather. We also focused on literary, or fiction, books and focused on analyzing the character. We don’t want to describe them as just a boy or girl or a person or an animal. We want to describe them with characteristics that describe their personality, like energetic, talented, silly, stubborn, crazy, etc.
- Math- Last week we were working with pennies, nickels, and dimes to show a given amount. We worked on showing amounts with different combinations- like no nickels, the most amount of coins and the least amount of coins. We also worked on trading in 7 pennies for a nickel and 2 left over pennies.
- Wilson Fundations- Last week we finished up our unit with blends and the suffix –s. Blends are two consonants that are side by side, that get their own tap. We never tap out the suffix –s, so we have to add the –s when we are blending in the word. An example would be the word “flags”. The /f/, /l/, /a/, and /g/ would each get their own tap and blend it together to say “flag”, and then blend it again to add the suffix –s for “flags.”
- Easter- We celebrated Easter and spring by doing a few fun activities. We worked very hard on making beautiful egg mosaics and read lots of colorful and fun Spring and Easter books. It was so much fun!
