ELA 

Students listened to The Snowy Day and learned to identify the story’s characters and settings. We identified the clothing and activities of the main character and then made charts about the clothing and activities that are appropriate during other kinds of weather.  Students participated in a shared writing to create a character and setting for the class weather story.

Finally we learned Kk, Jk, Zz, and the new sight words her, and his 

Math 

Students acted out and told stories to demonstrate addition and subtraction.  We told stories about classmates playing at recess and then wrote numbers to represent the action in the story problems.  Students acted out and represented stories that don’t include a question. This encourages students to think about the context and the action in the story without feeling pressure to solve the problem.  Later in the week we used our fingers to count two groups and add them together. 

P2:  None

    

Science: . 

In this lesson, students discovered that there are pushes and pulls involved in any kind of work, including the work done by machines. In the activity, Be a Digging Machine, students pretended to use shovels and excavators to dig a hole for a swimming pool.
