I hope all the Mother's Day gifts and cards made it home alright today. Just in case your child has tucked the gift away for a lovely Sunday surprise, you may want to encourage them to give it a little air (and maybe a bit of sunshine too) before they give it to you. :)
This week, we focused on words containing the vowel team "ou". Our daily practice words were: house, found, mouth, and cloud.
In Science, we have started to learn about seeds and plants and we planted our classroom garden box. We will be observing the growth of a variety of vegetables over the next two months.
In Literacy, we continue to discuss the elements of stories. This week, students worked in partners to identify and write down the main characters, setting, problem, and conclusion after listening to a story I read to them. Next week, we will begin creating short oral stories that include these elements.
We had Linkoln's dad, Rich, come and speak to our class and Mrs. Burch's class about his exciting job as a high-rise window washer. He brought in some of his equipment to show to the kids and showed and talked to the group about the safety gear he needs to wear while he works hundreds of feet high on the side of buildings! Here is a photo of him demonstrating his window-washing technique and another one he shared of the view from one of his "offices".
We spent a lot of time this week working on artwork and writing for Mother's Day. I hope all of you mothers enjoy some well-deserved pampering and relaxation on Sunday! Enjoy. :)
