Subtraction, building words, and Santa's surprise!

This week was a busy week of learning! We spent all week building words, subtracting, and reviewing our letters. 

Subtraction

This week we learned about subtraction. We read lots of books about subtraction including Benny's Pennies, 10 Little Ducks, and Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar, and 10 Little Fish. Our Favorite was Benny's Pennies... We liked practicing how to spend money. We also realized how fast money is spent! Yikes!!!

Building Words

This week we became word builders. They coined the term "Word Architects!"  We practice building the word, sounding it out, Andy akingletters away to see what was left.  

Santas's Surprise

Santa left us a surprise over the break. When we returned, these little Zebra Finch (both boys) were in our class!  We named them "Fluffy" and "Sharky."  Fluffy is the bigger one and Sharky is the smaller, louder, more active one.  We are learning to care for our pets, clean their cage, and feed them.  We have learned that they do not like loud noises and that they really like to build their nest. We have enjoyed listening to them sing and watching them bathe in their water!
