Today we studied facts about money.  Each table explored money, who is on each coin/bill, and the importance of making good choices when spending our money.  
 


 The children discovered that each state has it's own quarter. 
 We made flip books about the various types of sentences.

 Parker was our guest reader. He brought a book that helped us identify the 4 types of sentence.  He did a wonderful job reading to the class. 
 This is an interrogative example of a test.  Questions are interrogative. 
 This is a declarative sentence.  It is a statement. 
This is an exclamatory sentence!!!
 For the 8th day countdown the students got to work in pairs on Language Arts folder games.  The games reviewed all the phonic skills that we worked on throughout the school year. 




Whole group reading was amazing today.  We read Amazing Animals.   An informational text that included a table of contents and an index. 


 



 We are working hard on adding coin values.  The class played scoot today. Each table had a different amount of coins.  Ask your child about this math game. 




 We have been collecting gold coins since March.  Today was the first opportunity for the children to trade their coins prizes.  The coins functioned just like real money.  Make sure to have your child show you their purchases.

  1. The article is clear and bright, with no additional unnecessary facts. The speech is equally brilliant and vibrant, so the further I read, the more I really do like it! This post on 4 Types of Sentences is very simple to read and appreciate all your efforts in sharing this with us. Thanks.
