Week in Review ~ April 9 - 13

This week was a busy week! I"What do you see in the sky?" Our vocabulary words were surface, recognize, distance, space and challenge.  We reviewed the letters Uu, Gg, Ww, Xx, Vv, Jj, Qq, Yy and Zz. We have now focused in on every letter of the alphabet. When we return from vacation we will be working on long and short sound that vowels make. We also reviewed the sight words introduced so far.  Please continue to practice these at home.  Being able to fluently read sight words helps students become stronger readers.

In Math we worked on decomposing (breaking apart) the numbers 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.  We found multiple ways to break the whole into two parts. 

With vacation next week, I have challenged all of the K2ers to complete one Books & Beyond sheet. If they return a completed sheet on the day they return from vacation, they will earn a prize.  I sent home a Books & Beyond sheet, as well as a Nonsense word sheet, with everyone today. 

Be sure to ask you K2er about the AMAZING assembly we went to this afternoon with the talented musicians from the Crocodile River Music group.  Thank you the the Fitchburg Art Museum for sponsoring this wonderful show to Johnny Appleseed. You can see some pictures and short videos on our class Instagram page from the assembly: theworldofK2

I hope everyone enjoys their April Vacation.  Once we get back on the 23rd we will be in the homestretch. It will surely fly by with all the fun activities that happen during the spring and early summer.
