This week has been a super fun packed week already! This week our focus is on the letter Jj this week and the sight words "with" and "my". Tomorrow we will also introduce the letter Qq!
In Math, we are now changing our focus from addition to subtraction. We have been practicing how to "take away" objects and writing a matching subtraction sentence. It's been really fun to watch the students acquire a stronger knowledge of addition and subtraction these past few weeks.
Yesterday, we had snail races! The students observed the land snails and predicted who would win the race while using our science vocabulary. It was so fun to see the students watch the snail races! As you can imagine, the races are kind of slow, but very fun and interesting all the same! Yesterday, students also had the opportunity to hold a land snail in their hand!
Today, we observed water snails! Once we discussed the characteristics of the water snails, we discussed the similarities and differences between the land snails and the water snails. They are very interesting and cute creatures!
