March Madness
In March our class participated in a variety of exciting events. We began the month by celebrating Read Across America Week. Students were encouraged to dress as their favorite Dr. Seuss character, wear crazy socks to school, dress wacky, and enjoy wearing their favorite hat to school. We had parents come and read to us as we all enjoyed popcorn and punch. (Thank you again parents for coming) In writing once we wrote the recipe to teach about how to make a Dr. Seuss Snack we got to actually make it and enjoy it! Also, Brewster Middle School send over students to our class to participate in buddy reading. Last, we designed and built structures only using red cups and white card-stock to resemble the hat from The Cat in The Hat. Phew! And that was only the beginning...
As the month went on we finished our unit on measurement and jumped right into our unit on addition and subtraction within 10. Our class loved using manipulatives and working together to learn more about those two topics.
We tried to catch a leprechaun by designing and building traps from various recycled materials. Unfortunately, we didn't catch her, but she did leave us a special snack for our impressive work put forth.
We continued our work on increasing our phonemic awareness and sight words. The balloon pop smartboard game was a hit to practice sight words. Each student had to read a given sight word and when read correctly they would have the chance to throw a koosh ball at the smartboard and "pop" a balloon to try and reveal the gold coin.
