A Busy Week

Our student teacher, Ms. Gunnarsson, has been taking the lead this week and will again next week as she prepares to complete her student teaching and graduate in May.  We went to the woods on Tuesday of this week instead of today.  Students were excited to enjoy the sun and observe insects and birds coming back to the woods.

Students have been working to write books using the sentence starter "I like..." in Writer's Workshop focusing on putting spaces between their words and adding a period at the end of a sentence.  We continue to work on subtraction in Math and today students acted out the book Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons.  Some students worked with me to play the subtraction game Splash! and really enjoyed using pom poms to take away from one side of the board to another.
