Penguin Centers & Desk Work

This week we are learning about penguins at school.   All week we have been doing penguin themed centers and making penguin art projects.

We have used penguin counters to solve subtraction problems using our double ten frames.

Covered a penguin shape with pattern blocks and graphed how many of each shape we used.

Unscrambled sentences about penguins.

Matched sets of antonyms.

Matched sets of        contractions.

Listened to stories about penguins.

And continued to work on sorting short a and long a words.

Today we worked as a class to write super sentences about penguins.  We began by brainstorming a list of words on the board and recording them on a graphic organizer.  Then we used our list of words to help us write sentences about penguins.  We also drew a picture to go with each sentence.
