Happy Valentine's Day!

We have been doing author studies.  We have learned about Mo Willems and, now we are learning about Dr. Seuss.  We are noticing the characteristics of the authors' books and trying to add those details in their own writing. 

In Math, we finished learning about addition and subtraction.  We will continue to practice fluency.  We are beginning to count to 20, recognize and write the numbers. 

We had a transportation unit and sorted the vehicles into categories like air, land, and sea.  We are learning about the job of a president this week.

We are continuing to practice reading and writing real cvc words.  Now we are adding in nonsense words.  Nonsense word practice helps us apply what we know about letter sounds to read new words.

Here are some of the books we have read:
