Week of May 15, 2017

What a great week!  It was great having beautiful, hot weather for our trip to the Akron Zoo.  We have been working really hard getting ready for Donuts with Dad next week.  We made books and picture with a special poem.  Please keep in mind that dad, grandpa, uncle, older brother (at a different school), cousin, neighbor … whomever you and your child choose is welcome.  If no one can come it is not a problem.  Mr. Gless, Mr. Misch or Mr. DiBacco are always happy to step in J

Butterfly Update:  We were able to complete our Butterfly Journals this week because ALL 10 of our butterflies emerged from their chrysalis!  We released the butterflies in the Parsonage prayer garden.  We were able to see close up how butterflies use their tongue like a straw to suck the nectar out of a flower.

Religion:  This week we recognized that when we help and care for others we are living God’s love.  Living love shows love for God.
Language Arts – This week we continued working on increasing our comprehension skills by re-reading the skit, The Glum Princess.  We used our prior knowledge, recognized text structure, identified characters, and confirmed predictions.  We looked at multiple meaning words such as present.  We worked with vocabulary words huff, puff, costumes, props, scenery.  We have been working with blending sounds to decode words, as well as segmenting words and focusing on the medial vowel sounds.
Math:  This week we continued working with identifying by naming and describing three dimensional shapes.  We worked with cones, cubes, cylinders, and spheres.  Our vocabulary focus was:  curved, flat surface, roll, slide, stack, alike, different.  We also worked with two dimension shapes.
