TREES

Science- We will be learning about Trees! Each student will create a tree fact book! This week we will focus on labeling the parts of a tree, How do trees grow, and the life cycle of a tree. This is a book that we will add information to over the next few weeks! We will label our class life-size tree!

EL AR- We will be learning how to research! This is our tree research center! In their tree hand print book, the students will write facts about trees that they learn and begin to look at animals that live in a tree! They students are preparing this research to write an expository draft.

During the last 6 weeks of school we will review all the sight words we have learned throughout the year. The students will paint their "Easter basket" then if they can read the words from the year they can place the egg in their basket!

Social Studies- We will figuring out how to solve a classroom problem by using the problem solving process.

Math- Length and Area- In each tree are animals that live in a tree. They will take the animal and first sort them from smallest to largest then they will find the animal that is the same size as the provided string. We will be using words like: Shorter than, same as etc

Social Studies- We will be learning about the 7 roles of the President of the United States. We also learn about the contributions George Washington made as our 1st President.

Math-First the students will create a pattern with the animals. Then they will label their pattern AB, ABB, ABC, ABBA. Next, they will find the correct animal sound and match it with the animal. Last, they will find the repeating pattern.

Since we are learning a little more about Texas this week in SS... I came up with a roping game to learn our NEW sight words for this 6 weeks! They will try to rope a steer and drag it in.... after they pinned it... the child and their partner will try to figure out the word!

Math- Last week of Studying #'s 15-20...in this game the kids will toss the soap on the "germ" # they know... if they get it right they get to put that many green boogies (green beads) on the germ (gross? yes... but its kinder!!) They go until they can recognize all the #'s and their germs are full!

Various spinner, Bingo and Dice games to review #'s 15-20!

Social Studies- How is Dublin different than other communities in Texas? We will be taking a closer look at the different regions of Texas and what makes them special!

Science- Continue our study on How We Live and Grow. We will be focusing on Germs and washing our hands. (Notice the cute "germ" sacks in each workstation.)

ELAR- In each germ sack there are letters (capital and lowercase) and puncuation to create words and sentences. After they have created a sentence they will transfer it onto paper...making sure they start the sentence with a capital letter, have spaces between each words and end the sentence with the correct punctuation mark! Also in Elar this week, we will be continuing our study on different forms of media and finalize our drafts from last week.
