week of March 2, 2015

This week in class: 

Math:  We will be finishing up: Topic 8, Understanding Subtraction.  We have been doing a lot of acting out the taking away stories and comparing groups of more or less.  We do review addition and will be reviewing addition and subtraction for the rest of the year.  Please continue to count to 100 by 1s, 5s, 10s, and review shapes and more and less.

Reading/Phonics:  Our new story is called: “My Lucky Day” and the skill we will be focusing on is: cause and effect.  We are also working on Ll in the beginning of words. We will be talking about adventures.  The amazing words are: piglet, filthy, fox, cook, lucky, scrubber.  We will also review: verbs.   We are continuing this story for another week because we did a lot of Reading activities for Dr. Seuss this past week.

Science:  We learned all about gasses this week.  We also talked about how blimps now use helium instead of hydrogen.  We have been working on the different states of water (solid, liquid, gas) and real life examples of them.
