The Week in Review ~ February 29th - March 4th

It was a Seussical week in K2 with lots and lots of reading!! On Read Across America day we met our "Book Buddies" for the first time from room 2B. Every other week we will be getting together with them for 30 minutes to read with them. The K2ers were super excited and can't wait until we get together again.

Then on Friday we were lucky to have TWO Mystery Readers come to K2. First we had a 3rd grade teacher from JA, Mrs. Smith, in to read to us in the morning. And then we had Mrs. Remillard from IC Federal Credit Union in to read to us in the afternoon. It was so nice to have visitors in to read stories to us.

In ELA this week we started unit 7 and are talking all about animals. This week we discussed how some animals are alike and how they are different. Our vocabulary words were appearance, behavior, exercise, wander and plenty. We read the story "Zoo Borns" and worked with the vowel Uu. We discussed and listed verbs and introduced the sight words for and have. We also started working on a project with a partner comparing a contrasting two different animals. The first step was to randomly choose an animal and draw and label it. Next the partners discussed how their animals were alike and how they were different. We will be continuing with this project in the next couple of weeks.

In math we started Topic 8 titled More Addition and Subtraction. We started the unit by finding different ways to take apart (decompose) 4 and 5. Next week we will be working on decomposing numbers to 10.

Here is one last photo from this weeks Seussical fun...

Have a wonderful weekend!!
