April 21-25, 2014 - Earth Day & Arbor Day

This week we are studying drawing conclusions, measurement as well as Earth Day and Arbor Day.
 We read Ira Sleeps Over to discuss drawing conclusion. We also made a popplet to review the story structure of this book.

There was a huge push on vocabulary this week, so we worked with partners and by our selves to practice ways to remember the meaning of our vocab words. We also worked hard on identifying synonyms and antonyms.

In Math we are still working on measurement. We made Gallon Man which was a huge hit.

We learned about the 3 Rs of Earth Day, which are reduce, reuse and recycle. We also made a cute craft to help us remember the 3 Rs.

Next week we are studying making judgements, fractions and butterflies and ladybugs. We also start our ABC Countdown. I cannot believe we are in the last 26 days of school!!!

April 14 - 18, 2014 - Easter & Field Trip Fun

This week we learned about problem and solution, measurement and bunnies. We read some great books this week including, There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Chick, The Cow That Laid an Egg, The Easter Egg and many more.

We made problem & solution kites in reading. 

 In math we made these super easy perimeter flip books as well as area robots. Thanks Step Into Second Grade for some awesome ideas. My teaching team follows your blog and we all adore it! 

 We also wrote about bunnies and our field trip.

 Speaking of field trip...we took a field trip to the Oklahoma Heritage Gaylord-Pickens Museum and loved it. The kids were amazing and we enjoyed lunch outside. It was a beautiful day!

 Next week we will be studying drawing conclusions, more measurement and chickens!
