Read Aloud - We learned the difference between important details (changes the story) and interesting details (don't change the story). Next week, we will start to read fractured fairy tales and notice how they compare/contrast with the original stories.
Math - We started to learn about time by reviewing the parts of a clock (minute hand, hour hand, face) as well as the difference between an analog clock and digital clock. We learned about telling time to the hour and the half hour. Next week, we will learn and practice telling time to the nearest 5 minutes.
Social Studies - We reviewed about seasons (fall, winter, spring, summer). We learned about weather instruments (thermometer, weather vane, barometer) and types of weather (rain, snow, thunderstorms). Next week, we will learn more about disaster weather (hurricane, flood, drought, tornado).
Handwriting - We are still practicing our handwriting during morning work.
Have a great 3-day weekend and I'll see the kids on Tuesday, 2/21,
