Week of March 19, 2018

The snow day in the middle of the week threw us off a bit this week.  We will be rescheduling our field trip to the Akron Art Museum for after Spring Break.  Each day we have talked about different ways to be a good person and what types of things we are thankful for.  We have learned that material things (like an xBox, special shoes, or toys) are not what are really important things in our lives.  We have been focused on recognizing that having choices on where we live and go to school, good health, having parents, siblings and grandparents are much more important.

Religion:  This week we learned that prayer flows from thankfulness to God.  Jesus teaches us to thank God for love.

Language Arts:  This week we worked on following directions and locating words, punctuation and sentences within a story.  We learned how to read a rebus story.  A rebus story replaces some words with a picture.  We worked with punctuation – periods, explanation marks, and questions marks.  Our comprehension skill focus was on using prior knowledge, answering questions about a story, compare and contrast, and recognizing idioms.

Math:  This week we focused on reading, writing, and counting numbers 18-19.  We practiced solving problems by using different strategies.  We used draw a picture and used objects to represent numbers.  We are learning to recognize number words 18-19. 

Science:  This week we started learning about ocean life.  We used the book to talk about environments, as well as how good friends share.
