Week of February 5, 2018

Although this was a short week, we were very busy.  Thank you to everyone that sent in goodies for our Valentine Party.    We enjoyed our day making our Valentine bags, reading our friends names and passing out our Valentines.  We read a special book, Somebody Loves You Mr. Hatch by Eileen Spinelli.  We talked about how important it is to let people know that they are special.

Religion:  This week we learned that Jesus is a sign of God’s love and that Jesus loves all children. We discovered that Jesus is the greatest sign of God’s love.  We also learned about Saint Valentine and that Valentine’s Day is a time to share love.
Language Arts:  This week we worked with U/u at the beginning and middle of words.  We focused on increasing our comprehension skills by recognizing the title of a story, and how the title can give us clues about the story.  We also worked with activating prior knowledge, making predictions, as well as cause and effect.
Math:  This week we continued working with problem solving by creating and solving addition problems.  We worked with number pairs that equal 8, 9, 10.  We have completed our addition unit and will be starting on subtraction.  We are continuing to work hard at counting backward from 20.
Science: We created our own cars as a part of learning about wheels and axles.  We had lots of fun racing them.

COMING UP:
Language Arts:  Focus on initial and medial U/u/ sounds.  We are also working on writing sentences to describe our illustrations.
Math:  We will be learning about subtraction.
