What we have been up to:
Reading: This week we have been learning about the word families et, en, and ed. We practiced sorting words with these endings into categories. Part of our Book Club Plus plans involved the word companion. This week we wrote about we like to do with our companion in our class.
Math: In math this week we had math centers that involved us doing some problem solving, playing a domino game, and exploring patterns with manipulatives.
Science: This week we started our new unit of study on seasons. We have started to talk about the seasons of spring and summer. With each season we are decorating a tree how it would look in that season.
