Week of May 8, 2017

This week during literacy we will continue our Animal Unit.  We will talk about mammals and then about birds.  We have some eggs in an incubator and are hoping to have baby chicks in 21 days.  We will be talking about the life cycle of the chick and learn about how the chick develops in the egg.  We will continue to write facts we have learned during this non-fiction unit.

In math we continue to work with addition and subtraction number stories, talk about 2D and 3D shapes and work with various ways we can represent a number.   We also will use calculators this week.

We will be working on some special projects this week.

Students should know the kindergarten sight words and we are beginning to work with some of the first grade sight words.

Our words this week are:    help    eat
