KM’s Week in Review:

Monday:  This week we are learning about the letter Z and our popcorn word is ONE.  We will also be working on reviewing all of the popcorn words, that we learned this year, this week.  The students learned about zebras, by listening to a nonfiction book, and they created a learning web to go with the book.  In science, we looked at the parts of a flower.  It is fun watching our sunflower seeds grow and grow!

Tuesday:

The students enjoyed a book titled Zink the Zebra.  The story was written by a young girl and it highlights the uniqueness and individuality of all of us.  It is a very sweet story.  We also spent some time working with clocks.  Many students are able to tell time to the hour, and we are also working on the half and quarter hour!

Wednesday:

The students listened to a fun story today, Zin, Zin Violin!  After the story, the students made words using the in word family.  Last night I soaked lima beans so that we could do our lima bean experiment today.  The kids were each given a couple soaked lima beans to open up.  Inside we looked at all of the seed parts and then labeled the parts as well.  The kids are becoming seed to plant experts!  J

Thursday:

It was fun making words today with the in word family.  The kids really enjoy making words and then asking a partner to read the new word!  Also, did you know that animals can strike at the zoo?!  Ask your child about the fun book we read Animal Strike at the Zoo. 

Friday:

Today was a really busy day!  We did our culminating activity for our LMC research project, Denise Flemming.  We created our own paper out of pulp, then our class created a book with the paper.  It will be dry in a week, so we can read the book we created as a class!  Thank you, Mrs. Gutmann!  It was a wonderful unit.  The students also worked on addition and subtraction number/word problems.
