-Heart word of the week: with
-We read a variety of stories this week and practiced the reading strategy of retelling.
-We have enjoyed two different writing projects this week. One project focused on writing a nonfiction book about plants. Our other focus was on writing poetry. We learned about writing poems that describe something, poems that have onomatopoeias (sound words), and pattern poems. On Friday, we were able to publish our favorite poem!
-In math, we started solving a new batch of story problems. For these story problems, we used pictures and numbers to help us solve them.
-We continued our focus on plants this week. We looked closely at the different parts of plants and what their job is. We also went over various plants parts that we eat.
-Many of our community centers were the same this week. Our flower shop has remained open and we are enjoying arranging flowers and delivering them around the classroom. We also have dirt with lima beans in our science table. It has been a lot of fun watching the beans in the dirt start to grow roots and a stem. A new center this week focused on examining and sorting seeds. We used tweezers to help us pick up the seeds, which also helped us with our fine motor skills (hand and finger muscles).
