Letter S

Sunny letter S! This week for us has certainly been sunny. The books we read this week were: The Sun is My Favorite Star by Frank Asch, My "S" Sound Box by Jane Belk  Moncure and Snow By Uri Shulevitz. Our vocabulary words for the week were: stop, shine, say, and sweet.

A and E practiced reading and writing with the following sentences:
See the swan swim,
The stars shine bright!
The snake slides.
Seashells by the sea.

Our poem for the week was:

I want a fat,
Squishy, squirreling squirrel
Scolding for a chestnut
Squealing for squash seeds.
A fat, squishy squirrel
Is all I want:
Only three of them-
Chip, Dale,  and Nylf.

I forgot to print out our Bible verse for the week but we did read the story of Samson.

For our science time we read: Sea Shells by Shari Skeie, Stars in the Sky by Allan Fowler, Shells by Betsy Franco, Seeds by Gail Saunders-Smith, Seals by Cari Meister. We also had some science vocabulary words: seal, sunflower, starfish, and swan. We also took some time to plant some seeds. I can't wait to we see the vegetables and and flowers coming up in a few weeks.

During math time we worked on writing and counting up to 24.

During social studies we read about Sacajawea by Joyce Milton and   by Kristen Schuetz.

For our art time we made dandelion seeds. We took a cotton ball, Q Tips, and pipe cleaners to make them. I also cut out shapes in different colors to make a larger art project with the different shapes. I was hoping the girls would make a house, or some interesting geometric design. I didn't get any pictues because we were out of town for a bit and my wonderful mother-in-law helped with the art time stuff. Off we go for another great week of learning! See you later.
