Our CAFE Menu!!

We have started to add to our CAFE Menu!  This is a menu that we are continuing to add to weekly.  We are working on reading skills and then we fit them in the category that they belong in and we use them while working on our reading!  There are 4 categories that make the up the CAFE: Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expanding Vocabulary. 

We have just started but keep on adding all of the new skills we are learning!

Our Snowflakes!!

We spent some time in January writing about snowflakes, reading about them, and even hoping for them to finally fly.  They sure did for a couple days!!  Then we decided we would make our own.  We discussed how snowflakes are all different and then we made them and were really surprised how our snowflakes ALL turned out different!  It was a fun and messy time!!  :)

Reading

We have finished up working with PALS; which is our Peer Assisted Learning System that we used August thru December.  The students have been partnering up and working on sounds, words, and reading skills.  They were very excited about the work we did.  Also we are continuing to work on our Kindergarten words and reading skills. 

Math

We have been very busy working on time in our math unit.  We started out working on the days of the week, months, and seasons.  Then we moved to the actual telling of time to the hour.  This was a lot of fun!  They are very excited to tell you the time.  Ask them some time problems!

Science/SS

In Science the students have been working on trees again.  They are starting to prepare for some experiments.  In Social Studies we have been busy talking about the Earth and our land formations.  This led us into the discussion of a globe.  We loved to see the globe and work with it.
