Terrific Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday!!

It has been a great week so far! We are reviewing and sharpening our skills of the sounds Qq, Zz, Jj, Yy and the sight words with, me, what, my, and where. Today, we spent time reading and blending sounds and writing words.  In reading group, we worked on segmenting the sounds in a word, blending sounds to make words and also read our readers.  At the parent helper rotation, we worked on subtraction with Pete the Cats Buttons, and we listened to a fictional story about a shark.

In math, we are also focusing on the students' fluency for subtraction and addition, as well as, drawing story problems and writing number sentences that match.

It has been a fun week for Isopods in science!  Yesterday, we had our Pill Bugs and Sow Bugs out for a race and the Sow Bugs won!  Pill Bugs are known as the Roly Poly, so we had a lot of fun holding those!  Today, we observed, compared and contrasted our Isopods.
