I hope everyone has had a nice weekend and enjoys an extra day off thanks to the strength and dedication of Martin Luther King Jr. We have discussed, watched videos, read, and created activities to learn about him!

Joke of the week: What do you give a sick bird?

Language Arts- This week we continue Unit 3 of our Journey’s series, lesson 14. Our essential question is, Where do different animals make their homes? We will read, Home for a Tiger, Home for a Bear, Turtle Splash, and Where Animals Live? As we read the stories we will focus on the author’s purpose, cause and effect, and predicting. We will learn new sight words, are and now, up, and not; and review the letter/sound Bb and words that have the letter Bb. In grammar, we will learn about verbs in the past tense “-ed”. Examples: jumped, hopped, watched. We will continue to discuss capitalization and punctuation in complete sentences, and lastly, in writing we will focus on organization of writing, the beginning, middle, and end.

Language Arts Centers- This weeks centers will be reading and creating correct sentences, sight words around the room, word family endings such as -an, -ap, -at; and sounding out CVC words and match them with pictures.

Math- This week we will continue Chapter 7 – Represent, Count, and Write 11 to 19.

Math Centers- This week we will do math centers. Two to three times a week we will break into smaller groups and each group will focus on a math topic we have learned or are learning. These topics include numbers 1-14, addition, subtraction, and more!

Jesus Time- We will read our Children’s Beginner Bible Stories that they love and watch videos on the stories we read to follow-up on what we read and understand each story a little more! .
