Snow and Rain, bless the Lord!
Grade One/Two April 20-24, 2015
Oh my goodness, a snow day (or half day) in Laramie; such a rare occurrence! I hope you enjoyed the snow; I loved every flake!
We are back to work this week on our dinosaur unit with both literacy and science tasks. Firsts will read a story, If You Invite a Dinosaur to Dinner while seconds will read Digging Up Dinosaurs by Aliki. Spelling will look different for the groups this week. Both will discuss doubling the medial consonant but then firsts will learn about final y that sounds like i, and seconds will learn about adverbs with the ly ending.
We will complete our geometry unit this week with symmetry and ordered pairs. We will then move into telling time. We continue to work on addition and subtraction facts and strategies.
Our dinosaur hall display is a work in progress. Each child has selected a time period to study and show. This week we should be able to get the plant life representations up.
Thank you for your responses re: a spring field trip. There were 2 votes for the Terry Bison Ranch and 7 for Young Ranch, so we will go to my sister and brother-in-law’s ranch near Saratoga on May 8. More information will come to you soon. Please begin today to pray for good weather!
