Week of April 22-25

Dear families,

This past week we continued learning about the Earth, taking care of the Earth, and our moon and soar system. We completed books called "The Earth is...," made a collage of things found in nature, and practiced our "I Love the Earth" poem.

We also wrote words with the letter sound Ff in the beginning, middle and end of words. In numeracy we completed our April Calendar after reviewing our numbers using our mini magnetic write-and-erase boards. The kids love using them! Here are the rhymes:

A straight line down is lots of fun, this is how you make the number one.
Around and back on the railroad track, two, two, two.
Around a hill, around a tree, three, three three.
Down and over, down once more, now you've made the number four.
Fat old five goes down and around, give him a hat and look what you've found.
Sis is a monkey's tail that I've found, curve a good line down and around.
Straight over, slant down, mister seven is coming to town.
Make an S and close the gate, this is how you make the number eight.
Around and down, mister nine is coming to town.
A straight line down, a big fat ball, number ten stands straight and tall.

By this time of year the SKs are writing 1-30 independently, and the JKs are writing 1-20, some with assistance.

This week we will continue our unit on Measurement and will start our unit on two-and three-dimensional shapes.

Thank you for your support of the Me to WE Penny Drive!

Have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Tyndall
