On Tuesday we learned about different things that are made from apples. They tried different apples products, and charted our favorite kinds. We then used apples to stamp paint. Thursday we learned about Johnny Appleseed, and what some truths and folktales were about him.
The Kindergartners are continuing to practice reading in phonics. They are learning new letter sounds quickly, and implementing them into their reading books. We have also been practicing some sight words, which are high frequency words that can't currently be sounded out. So far, they have learned the, is, here, mother, and love.
First Grade is also advancing in phonics. Starting our second unit, they are diving into suffixes, consonant blends, and early writing skills. They have been enjoying the new reader book, especially the story about the yak!
Finishing learning about numbers, the Kindergartners have also begun learning ordinal numbers in math class. First grade is learning to count dimes and pennies together, which has been a fun but rewarding challenge.
On Friday, the first graders had their long-awaited Lemonade and Goodies stand. It has been so neat to see their teamwork, hardworking attitudes, and manners when working with the costumers. They were busy restocking supplies, cashiering, and counting money! Thank you so much for everyone who bought supplies. We made way more than expected, so I think the money will now be used to buy an object for the upcoming auction!
