Theme: Ducks
Here's What We're Learning About...
Handwriting/Phonics - Lowercase letters "l", "k" and "y". Students are able to practice proper formation of letters by using shaving cream on their tables, chalk slates, whiteboards, and Handwriting Without Tears worksheets. Reading/Writing/Science - Students listened to "How Ducklings Grow", "The Chick and the Duckling", "Duck at the Door", "City Duck", "Mr. Duck Means Business" and "Make Way for Duckling". We discussed the life cycle of a Duck from inside the egg to hatching. Students were also introduced to a Venn Diagram. We then compared the differences between a duck and a chicken. Students were able to use environmental print and developmental spelling to write. We were also able to candle our eggs for the first time and see what is growing inside!
Reading Series - Students reviewed the poems and stories for letters "l", "k" and "y".
Math - Students are practicing counting and graphing in calendar math. We are discussing and practicing the different ways to sort objects by shapes and colors. Students are working on standard and non-standard measurement.
Religion - We Love Others
Reading Workshop - Students were able to partner up and read to each other.
Writer's Workshop - Writer's published their "How-to" books and we are starting our last unit "All About".

The world is filled with flowers.
On lawns and hills and windowsills are
sunny, saucy daffodils!
When you see a zero on the number line, better watch out for a visit or a sign, from our friendly super hero, who loves to see a zero Oh, he always comes to visit right on time.
