Language
The students practiced the formation and sound of the letter Jj.  The students practiced printing upper and lower case letter Jj and short words that end with the letter Jj in their printing books.  We also enjoyed an eye spy game, finding pictures in our large Jolly Phonics book, that end with the letter Jj.

Unit of Inquiry
The students continued learning more about Space!  Today we had a sharing circle to discuss what we already know about rocket/space ships and questions we would like to answer.  The students used a variety of materials to make a rocket/space ship art piece.

Math
The SK's reviewing for our upcoming Data Management test. The students reviewed and worked on a tally and graphing activity sheet and worked with partners or in groups.
