This week we focused on the story, Bear's Loose Tooth. The students illustrated what happened at the beginning, the middle, and the end of the story. We discussed new vocabulary words such as: nibbled, savored, gulped, frowned, welled. Our new popcorn words were: four, five, said. The students are writing their own stories and are excited to share them with the class. In math we have been working on positional words such as: beside, between, on top, over, under, next to, inside, outside.
