2012-13 School Year Off to a Great Start!

I can't believe we are almost 9 weeks into the school year already!! We have learned so much already but still have much more to learn!

In math we have reviewed our addition and subtraction strategies along with learning place value and numbers to 100. We will so be learning to count money!

In reading, we have read many fun stories in our new series. We continue to learn new vocabulary and different reading strategies. In phonics we are learning different letter combinations and sounds. We just learned that the sound /f/ can be made by the letters ph.

In Science we just finished our unit on plants and animals. We learned about mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and birds. We learned about their lifecycles and different needs each one has. We are soon going to begin learning about our government in social studies.

We've had various centers through out the year during our center time. We've had math, buddy reading, free reading, writing, computers, and spelling center.

This year has been going by so quickly, but we have a had a lot of fun and have learned so much to this point! We will continue on this same path for the rest of the school year.
