This week we focused on words containing "or" for our daily Shared Reading and Word Work. We continue to work daily on sentence writing using picture prompts and questions. It is great to see the progress the students are making in their ability to come up with sentences that include good description and detail. We have also been practicing identifying mistakes in given sentences. The students are becoming good at identifying incorrect letter sizing, missing punctuation, and spelling errors.

In Math, we continue to build our addition and subtraction skills through daily word problems, worksheets, and games. The students practiced solving equations that used three addends such as 4+5+2. We also started to learn about surveys and graphing. We will continue to do this work next week. The students will be able to create their own surveys and will poll their classmates. They will keep track of answers by using tallies and will then graph their results.

This week, the eagles we observe via webcam had two eaglets. Their third eaglet is pipping and will most likely fully hatch in the next day or two. Please see last week's blog for a link to the webcam. We've been watching Jackie feed the two eaglets and it's been incredible to witness the precision with which she can pass small pieces of fish from her beak to their tiny mouths!

We did not have a chance to go on a community walk this week. We had hoped to go with our Buddies today but had to change our plans. I will take the students for a walk early next week.

Thank you to everyone who sent in a cereal or shoe box with your child this week for Leprechaun traps. We will begin work on the traps on Tuesday. I would like to have all boxes in by Monday. Thank you. :)
