We didn’t waste ANY time getting back to the swing of things after our big holiday break. This week we did lots of fun snowman themed activities and learned how to decode and read words with digraphs {sh, ch, th, wh, tch}.
We made a digraph flipbook to practice this new skill. 
Our main story for the week was called Moving Day. It had lots of words with digraphs in it. 
We also learned some interesting facts about hermit crabs. 
Here we are putting all of sight words for the week in ABC order.
At centers we matched sets of antonyms that were printed on snowman themed cards.
We listened to the story I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow at the listening center and then used a graphic organizer to sequence all of the items she swallowed in the before she burped out a snowman. 
We counted and matched sets of snowman and snowflake cards that had sets of coins {pennies, nickels and dimes} printed on them. 
We unscrambled sentences about snowmen and practiced writing them using our neatest handwriting. We had to decide what kind of sentence each one was and chose the correct punctuation mark to go at the end.
We also decorated a folder with these cute snowman art projects to put all of our 2nd quarter assessments in to take home and share with our parents.
We didn’t have any real snow this week in Kansas so we had to be creative and build our own snowmen out of construction paper. Then we did some technical writing and wrote directions for how to build a snowman.
Up next . . . mitten themed activities and we will be learning about how to find our special place on the map.
