Weekly Newsletter March 7-11

Dear Families,

We have been tracking Lion and Lamb days in Number Corner...we are all looking forward to MORE Lamb days ahead!!

This week in ELA we read the story The Three Billy Goats Fluff by Rachael Mortimer - WE LOVED IT!! While listening to the story, we worked on the strategies of predicting, sequencing the story, retelling, and making connections.  We also listened to the original version of the Three Billy Goats Gruff.  We did a great job of comparing and contrasting the 2 stories!

We loved making these cute projects to go along with our story!!

Our poem was Splish Splash! We are ready for SPRING PUDDLES!!

Our phonics focus was the S BLENDS. We read words that begin with these blends, we sorted pictures that begin with these sounds and we practiced making these words with letter tiles.  Be sure to ask us to practice some of these words at home, too!!

Our 2 focus sight words were they and came. 

This was our sight word game this week...be sure to ask your child where the Billy Goats were hiding!

We are continuing our Informative Writing Books during Writer's Workshop.  Next week we will be choosing our own topics to write about!

This week during Math, the focus was working with numbers from 10 through 20.  Students were given many opportunities to count on from 30 and to think of the numbers from 11-20 as "10 and some more."  They practiced reading and writing the numerals and comparing written numerals, too!!

*Don't forget...SPRING BREAK is right around the corner! No School from Friday March 18 through March 27th.  

Thanks for all of your support from home!!
