Week in Review

May 7-11

Monday

Today we learned that our letter of the week was Z and our sight word was one. We read a nonfiction book all about zebras and wrote down fact we learned in a web. We put together a zebra puzzle in math. In math we also talked about the hour hand on the clock and made our own clocks! We went to P.E. and music today.

Tuesday

Today we read a fiction story called, Zink the Zebra. We learned that everyone is different and that being different makes us special! We made our own zebras today and colored them all different to show how unique we all are. Today in science we labeled the different parts of a flower.

Wednesday

Today we had art! We read a story called, Zin Zin Zin a Violin and made words that ended with "in". We always have a great time making new words! In math we learned about what a function machine is. Please ask me to show you.

Thursday

Today we had LMC and P.E. We read a story called, Animal Strike at the Zoo, and worked on a zoo book with a partner. In Science, we created a poster with a partner of a flower. We had to draw the flower and label all of the parts (roots, stem, leaves, flower and seeds). In math we played the game "high roller".

Friday

Today we worked on a special project. We made sight word flowers that are being displayed in the hallway and we played sight word bingo. In science we ended up our plant unit by taking home our seeds we planted. In LMC today we did pulp painting to end our study of Denise Fleming. Ask me to tell you all about it.
