ROY G. BIV

This week we spent time learning about the colors of the rainbow.  We learned about a little man named Roy G. Biv to help us.  These color words are also our new star words.  We wrote a color poem.  Take a look at some samples.

Check out this video clip on Roy G. Biv!

 

We read two books about leprechauns and compared them.  They were Clever Tom and the Leprechaun and Field of Buttercups.  We practiced retelling the story elements using the 5-finger retell.  Ask your child to tell you either story.  We completed this literature study by using a Venn diagram to compare the two.  Take a look.

 

In math, we began Unit 5.  We are continuing to practice teen numbers, addition and subtraction stories, and partners of 10.  There have been several notes about different ways to talk about and show teen numbers.  We are not only recognizing them but using terms like 1 ten and 3 ones equals 13.  We also practice saying 13 is 10+3. 

This week our March family projects came back to school.  They look great!  Here are a few examples of what makes us LUCKY.
