Phonics - We added two more vowel teams - ue and ew.  This week we are adding two more suffixes - ed and ing.

Religion - Our current virtues and values are meekness and charity.  Our latest promise paper taught us that Jesus wants us to be happy.  We learned about The Beatitudes.  We read a great book by the author of Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See called Adam, Adam, What Do You See.  The class loved it!  We also went to Adoration on Wednesday.

Writing - We have started our How To stories.  So far we have done research and planning.  This week we will do a little more planning before we are ready to dive into the writing stage.

Science - We have started another PLTW unit.  This unit is called Animal Adaptations. We read our introduction story.  We started Activity 1 and will finish that up this week.  In Activity 1 we are introduced to the four adaptations we will learn about this unit - camouflage, protection, food, and locomotion.

Math - In math we continued to work on double plus one facts. We learned about congruent shapes.  Congruent shapes are the same shape and the same size.  We also continued to work on adding two digit numbers without regrouping.

Reading - We continue to work in reading groups and centers.  In word work we have been learning about synonyms.  This week we will also learn about antonyms.  This week we are also going to do another round of running records.

Some fun pictures from the week ~

Have a great week!
