Dec. 5th-9th

Monday:  In math we played the teen frame game to show our teen numbers.  We had art and music.  In art we worked on our self portraits.  We learned that stories have 3 parts: the beginning, middle and end.  Our star letter this week is Nn and our sight word is “we.”
Tuesday:  In Science, we read a book called Winter.  We had music today and watched a video.  In math we used a walk-on number line to add and subtract.  We read a book called The Napping House and did a beginning, middle, and end project.  We also wrote in our journals about winter.

Wednesday:  In math we played the top-it game to compare numbers.  We went to P.E. and played bowling.  We read The Mitten and made puppets and a mitten to retell the story.  We also drew the beginning, middle and end of the story.  Today we went to art and made the lips and ears for our self portrait. 
Thursday:  Today we had a red card drill and read another version of The Mitten.  In math, we used the pattern block template to make shapes.  We went to P.E. and played the fitness dice.  We wrote in our journals and we also wrote sentences beginning with our sight word “we.”

Friday:  We had an assembly to watch the second grade musical.    We completed a word ladder.  Today we had writer’s workshop and practiced writing sentences with a “who” and “what.”  We also wrote the “Nn” words in our word book.   We went to P.E. and had fitness Friday.
All About Me:  None this week

Reminders:  Holiday Celebration homework due on Monday, December 12th
