Friday News


We had a fantastic Friday!


We began our morning with literacy morning work in which we practiced beginning and ending sounds, sight words, and completing the sentence with a word. After morning work we had morning message and calendar. 

 Next, we had a sunny recess outside! Afterwards, we came in and began reading groups. During groups, we practiced phonemic awareness skills and sight words, handwriting, an Earth Day book, and listened to a story.

After reading groups we had math in which we worked on combinations to make 10 and story problems that make 10 with number bonds, objects, and equations and a video. After math, we had writing in which we practiced our narrative writing and our "when, where, who, what" chant as we discussed some examples of stories. 

Our afternoon was filled lunch, recess, PE, music, snack and show and share, quiet time, free choice centers, spring concert practice, and recess.
