MATH
This week we continue our measurement unit. Using balance scales and
bear counters, students will work together to explore weighing objects
from around the room. Towards the end of the week we will begin
measuring the lengths of objects using
non-standard units such as paper clips and craft sticks. Sid the
Science Kid loves to measure. Here is a short video clip the children
are sure to enjoy!
ELA
Now on to Holiday's Around the World. We are a busy bunch this week!! Monday we are going to China and learning about the Chinese New Year. Tuesday we are riding a Greyhound bus around the U.S.A. and learning about Kwanzaa. Wednesday we are heading to Mexico and learning about Las Pasadas. Thursday we are flying to Italy and learning about Old Befana. (The students were able to see money from Italy. Jaiden made a little book and brought it in to share with the class last week.) , Then we will end our week by flying to the Netherlands on Friday and learn about St. Nicholas Day. As previously mentioned, during the "flights" we will discus the landforms, foods and dress of each country, along with a holiday they celebrate. When the "flight" ends we will make a craft, try some of the food that goes along with the country. If time permits, we will also make a journal entry about the country ~color their flag and write an interesting fact that we learned.
ELA
(English Language Arts~ Reading and Writing)
The sight words we are focusing on are some, was, not and has. We are working hard at reading the sight words!! This quarters goal is to read 50 and if you're thinking ahead... we aim for 100 sight words by the end of the year. We are also practicing using our sounds for blending and rhyming. Most students are catching on to blending quickly. (example I say, " /g/o/t/" and the student replies with "goat.") Rhyming is a little trickier because they have to apply the use of their sounds to the ends of words. Now on to Holiday's Around the World. We are a busy bunch this week!!

how objects get pulled to the ground.
