Time is really starting to fly, there has been a lot of fun
things going on.
Literacy-
The students are still practicing segmenting and blending. We
have began talking about substituting sounds (What word do I have if I take /c/
from cat and add a /b/). The students caught on so fast to this!
In reading we have been focusing on reading fluently, mainly
practicing saying words without sounding them out. This is a big transition for
some because they are so use to it!
And as always we are doing tons of writing=)
Math-
The last couple weeks we have been working on shapes and
positions. This has been pretty easy because we did a shapes unit in the beginning of the year. Next week we
will begin to learn about 3-D shapes though! Most have not heard the vocabulary
for this so it is a little harder. The vocab we will be using is: Sphere, cone, cube, and cylinder.
In math, we will be done with our math chapters in a couple weeks and begin to do
review for the last 2-3 weeks. So you will not see math papers coming home as much.
And because I love pictures, here are a couple of students working on the interactive board.
Social studies-
In social studies we will be finishing up our unit on frogs. Our
janitor found a live frog in the church and let us keep it for a while, the
kids had so much fun looking at it! After next week we will be starting our
last unit on plants.
Art- Sonshine students reaching for the stars!
This week we finished our (probably one of my favorite) art
projects.
Here is the picture I finished and the student's pictures on the wall.
Notes:
· Wednesday is pictures day for graduation! The student’s will be wearing their cap and gown in the pictures.
