ELA - We started a unit on fables. We studied the fable of "The Lion and the Mouse". Students learned the different parts of a fable, how they are similar and different from nursery rhymes, and that each fable teaches us a lesson. We also explored different versions of the fable and compared them. The lesson we learned from "The Lion and the Mouse" was "little friends may be great friends".
This week we continued working on decoding (sounding out and blending back together) CVC words and phrases. Students looked at pictures of items then chose the word that goes with the picture, decoded a word and chose the picture that it goes with, isolated beginning, middle, and ending sounds, and circled the word that was dictated to them.
We are continuing to focus on individual letters, letter sounds, and writing each lowercase letter on handwriting paper. We reviewed all the letters we have worked on so far: k, x, y, j, w, u, m, a, t, o, d, c, g, i, n, s, f, h, e, p, z, l, b, r and v. We have also been working daily to stretch/slide and blend words based on the letter sounds we hear.
Students are also working to differentiate between vowels and consonants. Sometimes we write our CVC words (consonant, vowel, consonant words) with a red and blue crayon. The consonants get written in blue and the vowels in red.
Math- We began our unit on addition. Students learned the terms for each part of an addition sentence: addend, plus sign, equals sign, and sum. Then we began learning different strategies for solving an addition sentence. We covered using our fingers and using cubes so far.
Bible Study - We learned the story of when Jesus calmed the storm. When on a boat in the Sea of Galilee, Jesus told the wind and waves to be calm. Jesus protects His people and helps us trust in Him.
Art - Students worked on water color painting a stained glass window for Lent. As we learned that Lent is the church season where we prepare for Jesus to die on the cross and then rise again on Easter Sunday.
22nd Scholastic Book Orders are due. If you need help ordering online please let me know.
