Week 5

This week, we read many books about colors such as Brown Bear, Brown Bear, Mouse Paint, A Bad Case of Stripes, The Mixed Up Chameleon and Elmer. We practiced blending primary colors to make secondary colors. We also practiced retelling stories. Our sight words this week were "am" and "go". We also read from our book boxes. We worked on writing our "frog jump" letters.

In math, we finished up our unit on numbers 1-10. We put numbers in order. We compared sets and determined which set had more and which set had less. We practiced what comes before and after each number and we practiced writing our numbers. 

In science, we worked on physical properties of matter. We learned that matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. We made a chart to help us use physical properties to describe matter. We also sorted matter by physical properties.

Our puzzles from Donors Choose came in this week and we enjoyed playing with them during choice time.
