Graphing, Rocks, and New VLA Sight Words

 We have been practicing our New Years Performance almost every day in class. The performance for the school will be on the morning of Thursday, February 11^th and the night performance for the community will be February, February 12^th at night. The kids have been doing real well. For the next couple of weeks, we will be going on stage more to practice.

 In math, we worked on graphing bar graphs and picture graphs. Here is a jelly beans graphing activity we did one day this week.

 We did a class graph of our eye colors.

In science, we are learning about rocks. We sorted rocks by looking at them and sorting them by characteristics. We learned that igneous rocks are rocks that are hot and than cooled down. They can be blown out from volcanoes. Sedimentary rocks have layers. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that changes over time.

We got our new class pet this Wednesday. Meet our tarantula! 

Our new VLA sight words. We are working on the NG and NGH blend. This blend is kinda tricky to say. I told the kids that in order to say this blend in words, you have to slide our tongue against the roof of your mouth. 

Since this week was a little funky and we didn’t have a lot of time in VLA, we will extend learning these words another week and have our second VLA sight check this upcoming Friday.

 A little late, but I forgot to mention that our class won the attendance award again! That’s two months in a row. Mrs. Cumming came by about two weeks ago and we celebrated a vanilla pudding party.
