Our reading story this week was, Me and My Family Tree. We read the story, talked about how families are alike and different, and shared special show and tell items with the class.  The students also completed a booklet about their families.  Our new popcorn words were: and & little. The letter sounds we learned in Jolly Phonics were w & v.  We also practiced printing these letters.  Our math lessons and centers focused on counting to 50 and 100 by 1's and 10's.  During math centers, students worked on activities for the numbers 1-20.                                                                     A Peek At Next Week
