Digraph's

We have been working on learning some digraphs. A digraph is a combination of two letters representing one sound, as in ph and ey. The digraph's we have learned about so far are th, sh, ch, wh. We sing a song to the tune of BINGO- It goes like this:

There are some letters when put together
that make a new sound
t-h  th th th
s-h sh sh sh
c-h ch ch ch
and w-h wh wh wh

We also made some words using these digraphs and put them on spider legs.

Brown bear, brown bear

During the first few weeks of school we began learning about colors through Eric Carle's "brown bear, brown bear". A grandparent of a student in the PM class came in to help the students create some memorable art to go along with the story. It was so much fun to watch each child come up with their very own colorful animal!

Apple Bulletin Board

Here is a picture of our apple bulletin board. We have used apples to help us learn about fall, being scientists, and art.

Writing Progress

As a class, we are working on progressing in writing. We have learned several sight words together as a class and try to incorporate them into our writing as much as we can. We are also practicing sounding out words (phonetically) all by ourselves!

"I like the daughter hugging mom"

"I like the beginning"

Teddy Bear Picnic

Our Teddy Bear Picnic was a huge success! Not only did the students get to enjoy an afternoon of picnicking with family and friends, but they got to practice their new math skills in a fun way. We sorted our stuffed animals into different categories, made a human bar graph, and recorded our results on a real graph. Thank you to everyone who helped to make this afternoon one to remember!

As always, if you have any pictures you'd like to share, please email them to me for our class end of year DVD!

Sorting

We have been working this week on sorting things as many ways as we can based on their different attributes. We have sorted dinosaurs, buttons, and soon our stuffed animals!

Run For Funds

Our class (both AM and PM) did a phenomenal job running their best and raising money for our PTA- thank you to all of those who came out to support, donated their time and/ or money, and participated in any way! Enjoy the free kid's meal from Texas Roadhouse that your child earned :)

Here are the pictures I took that day. If you have any that you would like to share, please email them to me for our end of the year DVD
