This week we finished up our Making Meaning and Michael Heggerty programs.  We also completed all 95 popcorn words for the year and now will continue to review and practice them.  We have done a lot of activities with color words.  The students have been busy writing in their journals and reading in guided reading groups with me.  It is amazing to see how far they have come!  In math we have continued to work on centers to review math concepts taught throughout the year.  This week students sorted 3d shapes, worked on missing number, practiced counting by 5's, addition, subtraction, starfall math and math apps on the iPad.
