This week we had a review week, but that doesn't mean that the kids got to take it easy. They worked so hard that they definitely earned their break.
We used the book Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs to review several of our reading skills. We found cause and effect situations in the story, used meatballs to sort nouns and verbs on the Promethean Board, made a story map about the characters, setting, and events in the story and much more. On Friday we even compared the book and the movie and used it as a chance to learn that a lot of times a book doesn't match the movie even if they have the same name. We also reviewed the /oo/ sound by making double o looking glasses.
In math we started working with comparing numbers using <, >, and =. We played several games and used a youtube video to help warm-up our brains each day. The link below will take you to a game that they absolutely LOVED playing in class to help review.

We also used our spelling time to build our sight word fluency. I am including 2 of the videos that we used in class to practice sight words and 2 of the videos we used in math.

To celebrate the end of the third nine weeks we had an egg hunt. The kids all had such a good time! Thank you to everyone who sent in eggs and snacks! I will post pictures after break (I am waiting to get them from our parent helpers). :) We also had a meatball party to end our book study of Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. (In the partner pictures we are playing a game to find the missing addend that was hidden behind their partners back.)
