Here are a few pictures / updates from our classroom ~

Spanish - Mrs. K. is asking students to bring in a family picture this week.  They are learning about families in Spanish.  Our class has Spanish on Wednesday.

Calendar Time - Every morning we start the day learning about the calendar and the weather

Wednesday we had our first Adoration of the school year

Religion - We continued reading out of our Children's Bible.  This last week we read the story of Noah's Ark and worked on pages associated with that story in our Promise books.  We have started Friendzy.  Our first unit is called - Ohana.  We learned that Ohana means family and the theme of the unit is sticking together. We have been practicing the virtue of respect.  We have now also added courtesy to our virtues and values.

Phonics  - We are reviewing the digraphs learned in kindergarten - sh, ch, wh, th, and ck.  We are practicing words with those digraphs, as well as CVC words.  We are continuing to add tricks words to our list.

Math - We worked on pattern blocks.  We had outlines of shapes and we had to fill them in with different pattern blocks.  We found out that we could use different pattern blocks to fill in those creations.  We practiced ordering numbers from least to greatest.  We continue to work on doubles facts. 

Science - In our science unit Light and Sound we explored objects that make sound in our sound centers.

Reading - We continue to practice building our stamina in the daily 5 reading centers.  We are almost finished with running records.  We will also be working on sight word checks this week.
