Mrs. Dufault's Peek at the Week



What a busy week it has been!!! Here is what we have been up to this week!

Religion- Our class has been enjoying Bible stories about Moses very much. We also have been working on first grade projects for Catholic Schools Week next week. It has been lots of fun for us.

SUPERKIDS- This week we have been working on sentence dictation, reviewing blends, and focusing on adding -ed and -ing ending to short and long vowel words. We are still working writing projects, main idea, and sequencing. The children have also been assessed on reading the first half of the memory words for the program. This week's spelling words: boy, girl, two, about, over, before

Math- We have had lots of fun working with measurement using nonstandard units. We are also practicing addition facts +2, telling time to the hour, half hour, and quarter hour.

Social Studies- We have been talking about what a community is and learning about how communities change over time. The class created a time line using pictures that were from a story which was read to them.

Science- Our unit about the states of matter is keeping us busy. We are now going to be exploring how states of matter can be changed.
