Frogs, leprechauns, subtraction, making 10, and a birthday...oh my!

We had a great week leading up to Spring break, we were very busy and lerned a whole lot!  Our study of frogs also allowed us to learn about metamorphosis, life cycles, colors, and lots of science vocabulary.  We also used some of the Froggy stories to study characters and use evidence from the text to support our answers.

Mixing some of the colors we learned frogs can be to make new colors!

We also worked on frog and St. Patrick's Day themed centers:

Playing Memory to find frogs and princesses with matching ending sounds:

Literacy Work:

We started last week using frogs on logs to work on subtraction.  Then we used the practice mats and cards I sent home to practice as a whole class and with partners.

This week in math, we used several different activities to practice combinations that add up to 10.

On Monday to celebrate St. Patrick's Day we did a directed drawing (from Heidi Butkus) of a leprechaun to work on our directions following skills :)

Finally, thank you to all the parents for my birthday gift, Matt and I will enjoy a nice dinner at Panera!  These cards were also precious and warmed my heart all the way through.

Enjoy the time off!!!!
