Hi Parents!  It's been another great week of learning in our classroom.  In reading this week, we have been practicing more with short /a/ words.  We were also introduced to four new sight words: and, in, oh and yes.  Our story this week was called "Sam and the Bag", and we took our assessment on that as well as our spelling test yesterday.  We have been adding more math games to our day, and Thursday we had an "exploration" day where the kids got to explore new math manipulatives we will be using this year.  We have also been doing lots of "apple" activities in science this week.  Below are some pictures that were taken yesterday when we tasted some different products made from apples.  We had a good time graphing which type of apple product was our favorite.  Thank you so much for your support, and have a wonderful, long weekend!
