Happy Easter

Our word of the day today was "came". It was rule follower, because it followed the CVCe rule. This word had four letters, three sounds, and one syllable. We read the work family "the flame of -ame". Today's word was a verb. Later in the morning, we had music. After lunch and recess, we did a nonfiction sorting activity. Mrs. Myers gave a card to each of us. We had to find others who had cards that were related to ours. Then we found out that the names of each groups were - domestic bunnies, wild bunnies, and Easter bunnies. We organized our cards for each category. Then, Mrs. Myers read us the story, Rabbit, Rabbits, and More Rabbits, by Gail Gibbons. After the story, we checked our cards in each category and named them with headings. Next, we had computer/writing workshop time. We used the drawing tools with a partner to design an Easter egg. We will be writing about them next week. After writing, we finished our centers for the week. After recess, we gave out our weekly awards. Lots of friends had perfect daily math and daily edit. Nicolas was our neatest handwriter of the week! Annabelle was the most improved handwriter of the week. At the end of the day, we had a math Easter egg hunt. Mrs. Myers hid ten eggs filled with money. We had to find the egg, count the money, and record the answer. At the end of the hunt, we checked our answers together. It was fun practice! We also read most of Mrs. Myers' favorite Easter book, The Country Bunny and the Golden Slippers. Have a happy Easter! We'll see you on Monday. Our theme next week is bugs!
