We are wrapping up our persuasive writing unit and preparing to publish next week. This week, we wrote opinion pieces, sharing our recommendations on books to read, toys to buy, restaurants to visit, etc. Some students wrote about things to avoid, too! We are learning to make very convincing cases.
We've been working on increasing our fact fluency in math, adding and subtracting within 5 as quickly as we can. We also did an Exemplar this week where we combined amounts to form teen numbers. We're continuing to examine teen numbers and break them apart into tens and ones.
Our science unit on Heredity and Evolution continued this week as we brought in our next living thing... LADYBUGS! Yes, we have baby ladybugs in the classroom! Ask your child about them. They are currently in the larvae stage. We can't wait to see them grow and change.
Besides our amazing field trip (see photos in post below), we also got ready for Mother's Day! Wishing all the mommies out there a wonderful weekend! Make sure your child gives you your gift bag and card, please!
