What a Busy Week!

This has felt like the longest week everrrrr. We had Y-Ties sales starting, Back-To-School Night, fall picture day, first grade fees due, testing for their reading level, and the list goes on! On top of that, I had 7 hours of meetings this week. It felt really good to be able to sleep in on this lovely Saturday morning.

In science this week, we continued learning about our 5 senses. We did a hearing and smelling game. The kids had so much fun. On the smelling game, one of the cups had garlic in it and I was cracking up seeing their reaction after they had smelt it. The faces they made were priceless! Some guessed it was stinky socks, barf, and “fart.” 

 In math, we worked on addition and subtraction number sentences. Later on this year, we will work on work problems using addition and subtraction. We will be comparing numbers next week.

In VLA, we have been working on our new sight words. You can see them in my pocket chart in the picture below. So far this year, we have worked on accents and colors. This is our first week learning sight words.  Eventually, we will start writing sentences using our sight words.
