Tuesday was Benjamin Franklin's birthday, so we learned about different parts of his life, and drew them on a kite. We now have kits hanging all over the classroom! On Wednesday, the first grade started to learn about American symbols like the liberty bell, flag, and the bald eagle. They then wrote about and drew a bald eagle. We also compared our wing spans!
We continues learning about symbols on Thursday with measuring the Statue of Liberty in the hall way, and making green crowns!
On Friday, we talked and watched the inauguration speech at lunch, and learned about freedoms in America.
In phonics, the Kindergartners are learning more consonant blends like "sp", "mp", and "nd". They are also reading more and more sight words, and using them in their reader books! First grade is learning about Bossy R, and the sounds "ar", "or", and "er". We are beginning to incorporate them in everyday reading.
Math has been all about fractions in Kindergarten. In First grade, we have started weighing, adding two digit numbers, and counting quarters with other coins.
This week, the students also got a special treat. When the students are caught doing something good, they get to put a puff ball in the "good work jar". Well, the jar was filled up this week, so the students were treated to ice cream sundaes!
