We worked with calculators today. The students explored the + and = keys and learned what each key does. We made some adding sentences and tried doing a "big number" sentence as well.
We worked on the conclusion to our snowman story and also listened for the long vowel sounds in words. You can do this with your child in the car by saying the following words and figuring out what the vowel sound in the middle is:
lake, snake, like, bike, soap, rope, goat, sheep, comb, pine, tune, rude, mule, seal, heel, feet, boat, sign, pike, hike, road, toad, gate.........
Picking out sounds from the middle of words will help develop both reading and writing skills. It takes just a few minutes, and no supplies other than your brain. Give it a go!
We have been enjoying stories by Maine authors this week. The kids have looked at Maine on several different maps. We have discovered our state is bordered by New Hampshire, Canada and the Atlantic Ocean. The kids noticed that Wiscasset is very close to the coast. We found roads and routes. It's been fun to see where we are in space. Next week we will take a look at our country and compare our climate to climates around the country.
