Adventures from the week of March 21, 2022

Adventures from the week of March 21, 2022


Spring has sprung!  We could feel it in the air and in the energy in our classroom this past week!  Our week was full of fun and learning as usual!! 


Some of the things we did were: 

  • Celebrated the beginning of spring with a “Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring” project

  • Learned that blends can come at the end of words, too

  • Played some fun games to practice ending blends, including a version of Connect Four

  • Worked on addition problems with 3 addends, and practiced looking for tens facts or doubles facts to add together first

  • Worked on 10 + problems (10+1 - 10+9) and noticed helpful patterns

  • Visited the cafeteria and went over expectations and procedures to get ready for our first lunch experience in there next week

  • Did a science investigation that focused on the concept of biomimicry - using ideas from nature, specifically trees,  students designed umbrellas that would not get blown over by the wind! They designed various paper umbrellas and tested them out! 

  • Had our last health lesson with Nurse Hadley and learned about dental health

  • Reviewed how to do partner reading, and learned some new prompts for talking about the text with our partners


 We read this poem and then wrote our own version
