Mrs. Conroy's Crew: Review of the Week!

Groundhogs were the topic of the discussion in the beginning of the week. We made predictions whether "Phil" would see his shadow or not. half of our class said yes, half said no. We found out Tuesday morning, he saw no shadow and spring was on the way! However, we woke up to a snow storm Friday!

In writing we are working on our own version of the The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and are listing things we do Monday-Friday. Each day we had one more item to the list. By Friday, we are writing about five things we do on Fridays. I am very proud of my tots hard work.

I also introduced a fun checklist to the class. The checklist is a friendly reminder for my tots to use finger spaces between words, no uppercase letters in the middle of words, details in our picture and to sound out the word they are trying to write. They loved checking off each item as they did it!

In math, we spiced things up and used heart erasers as counters to fill up our ten frames with teen numbers.

We also learned a new game called, Top-it. It is similar to the card game war, except there are only numbers 1-20.

Keeping with the Valentine theme, we read the story, The Day it Rained Hearts. To strengthen our fine motor skills, we used different colored tissue papers to make it rain hearts in Room 202!

On Wednesday, we met with our third grade reading buddies! We loved finding a comfy spot and listening to the "big kids" read to us. When they finished reading to us, we got to read to them!
