Week of May 14, 2018

This has been a very busy week!  It was great that we were able to get outside every day in the beautiful weather.  We have been learning about farms.  We learned that farms have different types of buildings that a town.  We learned that silo’s hold feed for animals on a farm.  We watched a video and learned about how cows are milked.  We also learned that when sheep are sheared they don’t feel it – just like when we get our hair cut.

Butterfly Update:  We were able to complete our Butterfly Journals this week because ALL 5 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 or juiced out of an orange.

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 practiced identifying capital and lowercase X/x/, Y/y and Z/z.  We associated picture names with /x/, /y/, /z/ and worked on identifying and creating rhyming words. 

 Math:  This week we continued to learn about three dimensional shapes by describing them by their attributes.  A sphere has a curved surface.  A cube has 6 flat surfaces, also called a face.  A cylinder has 2 flat surfaces and a curved surface, and a cone has 1 flat surface and a curved surface. 

Social Studies:  We reviewed what a compass rose is.  We looked at maps and created a map using a story sequence.

COMING UP:

Language Arts—Our focus will be on the X/x/, Y/y/, Z/z sounds. 

Math—We will continue working with 3D shapes and positional words.
