Letter A, Counting by 10s, & Agate

We just finished up our unit on apples on Friday.  Students did a great job and learned a lot.  Hopefully they were able to share their apple books with you!  This is our new apple bulletin board.


This past week we also learned that vowels include: a, e, i, o, u.  We also learned that vowels can make a short sound and a long sound.  On Tuesday we worked together as a class to complete the worksheet below.


Then we sorted short and long A words on the Smartboard.


Lastly, students worked together with a partner to sort short and long A words on their own.



In math we have been practicing counting by 10s.  On Wednesday students had a chance to work together with their table group to build 10s pyramids.


We ended the week by reading the story Agate by Joy Morgan Dey.  We spent time talking about the lesson Agate the moose learned in the story that each and everyone of us is special!

Then students painted their own self-portraits with watercolors just like the ones in the book.
 



Their portraits turned out awesome!
