Welcome Back to School!

 It is that exciting time of the year again, time to start a new school year! We are so excited to welcome everyone to the Lemmon Tree Academy 2 classroom. We have so much to teach you, show you and can't wait to help you learn through play.  Check back each month to see all of the cool experiences our student are having in LTA 2. See you soon - Ms. Cortney, Ms. Dena and Mrs. Lineth. 

March

Hello Friends, we had a busy March! In pretend play and Science, we blasted off into space and all that involved! We worked hard in math learning, measurement and data!  Students worked on measuring the length of objects using non-standard units, order by length and comparing lengths to determine which is longer, shorter, taller and shorter and organized data into categories by sorting. In ELA we practiced our sight words, word families and middle sounds. We read the stories “ Look up” and “ Kiki’s day under the sun." We celebrated World Down Syndrome Day by wearing our crazy socks as a class, dressed like 100 year olds for the 100th day of school  and we went on a Field trip to Howling Cow. WOW we packed a lot into this month! LTA 2 loves Learning in a fun way! 

January

 In January we have been Exploring light and Sound! Students have thrived in learning all about our body parts and senses and what we need as living things. In Math we continued to work on numbers and operations up to 20, sorting categories and 2-D Shapes. In ELA we read books about exploring our senses and had so much fun reading "Grumpy Mr. G" and "What does Paris hear?" Students worked on identifying key details in stories and problem solving. We continued our Journey in Letter land and are working on our Blends of " BL and CL" words along with letter recognition and CVC words. We learned about Martin  Luther King Jr. and his "I have a Dream speech" using visuals and text. We had a blast in Music class and enjoyed a visit from our Frankie Friends. At our recent Family partnership day we made Snowmen, pinned the carrot on a snowman's nose and blasted snow cups all over the place with plush snow balls, it was a winter delight! We are so excited about next month from celebrating Valentine's Day to taking a field trip to Flour Power for our next Family and School Partnership Day!
