We had
such a fun week again! The weather for
our field trip to the zoo was beautiful!
It was so nice to see real animals that we have learned about. One of our favorites were the Meerkats. We also thought the baby rhino was
adorable! We had so much fun planning
and making our Mother’s Day gifts. We
hope you enjoy the pinch pots your children made for you. It was so exciting to be able to design
something special for you to use to keep your rings or other small things
safe. We worked hard to make the
muffins for Muffins with Mom. We
practiced reading the directions, measuring, and being patient!
Religion: This week we recognized that Mass helps Christians celebrate and live God’s love. Holy things are found in a holy place.
Language Arts: This week we worked with understanding skits. We practiced reading with fluency and expression. Our comprehension skills were focused on using prior knowledge, recognizing text structure, characters, confirming predictions, and drawing conclusions. Our vocabulary words were: huff, puff, costume, props, and scenery. We practiced our writing by writing about our visit to the zoo.
Math: This week we practiced measuring and cooperative work. We started a unit on 3 dimensional shapes. We will be focusing on attributes by using vocabulary words: curved, flat surface, roll, slide, and stack.
Social Studies: We learned about what a compass rose is. We looked at maps and followed a story using a map.
