March 29-April 5 Spring Break
What We Have Been Learning:
Bible: This week we read about Jesus praying in the garden. This story is a wonderful example of what we should do when we are struggling. God is always here for us! It doesn’t mean our problems are taken away, but we go to him and He gives us what we need.
Phonemic Awareness: This week we are challenged with l blends. For example, we have the kids say sled. Then ask to take the /s/ away and what is left? led the /l/ is often missed, so we are working hard on recognizing this sound.
Math: We are working on solving story problems. This week we had a story problem that didn’t give us enough information. We realized there were several different answers! Wow! That was a big concept! We knew in the story the person picked 9 pieces of fruit. Some were apples some were oranges. We found many combinations that could make 9.
Daily 5: We introduced a new word work activity building CVC (consonant vowel consonant) words with cards and letters. Lots of sounding out for this activity!
Writing Workshop: We needed to draw pictures and write how to make a sandwich. This was a big challenge creating sentences on our own. We reviewed sounding out words when we are stuck. I saw so much growth!
We continue to love our Secret Readers!
We had a chilly walk during Nature Rich Learning. We stopped at a few churches and areas to read a book that led us through the emotions shown in the Easter story.
What a blessing to celebrate Hudson on World Down Syndrome day! He is extra special to us!
