Happy Birthday to NyAyla!
Happy Summer Birthday's to Russell, RayLeigh, Weldon, and Jayden!!
Here are a few pictures from our Runge field trip. Thank you again to all of the parents who volunteered there time to chaperon! I could not have done it without you!!
The past two weeks we have started an ocean unit. Each day we learn about a different ocean animal. We read books and watch videos to learn about where the animal lives, what it eats, about it's body, and about it's life cycle. We make a different animal craft each day, we write a fact about the animal in our non-fiction book and write a riddle about the animal. The kids have had so much fun leaning about ocean animals!
I introduced subtraction. We learned that subtraction is taking away, so you start out with the big number and get a smaller number (unless you are subtracting 0). We started the subtraction unit with bowling. We start each set with 10 pins and (hopefully) knock some down. We take that number away and count how many are left. We also read Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons and made our own Pete who lost some buttons then we wrote a number sentence. We practiced taking away using our fingers and wrote number sentence as well.
