This week we read Arthur's Perfect Christmas.  Our new popcorn words were yes & no.  In Jolly phonics we learned the sounds of the letters y & x.  During Daily Five centers students worked on handwriting and activities with popcorn words.  They also read with me in guided reading groups.  Our math centers focused on patterns, teen numbers, missing number 1-20, and addition.  Our class earned 10 class paws and ended the week with a special reward, pajama day!  It was a great week!
