Lead 21 –Literacy: Outdoor Explorers Unit theme “What can I learn when I explore the outdoors?”  This week we focused on the question, “What do I see in nature?”

Writing: This week the children learned how to reflect on previous stories they had written.  They had fun working on “adding more” to their stories and pictures.

Attached are Word Wall Words that the students use when they write sentences.  The children may keep this list to use at home.

Math: “How Big Is A Foot?”   The children found out why it is important to have a standard unit of measure.  They traced and cut out their own foot-sized pattern on construction paper.  Then they measured different items in our classroom.  They soon discovered that not everyone had the same measurement for the same item.

Handwriting: We worked on writing the upper case letters J, H, U, and K.
