Lemmon Tree Academy

  March in LTA This month, we learned about earth materials (rocks, soil, clay, etc.) and the weather through our pretend play center and science unit. In pretend play, students dressed up as dinosaurs and paleontologists. They used kinetic sand to create dinosaur bones. They chiseled away at earth materials to find dinosaur fossils. Students used clay to create their own dinosaur bone fossils. In math, we reviewed Gus the Plus, Ellie the Equal, and met Linus the Minus. Students practiced both addition and subtraction. We used the stories Animals on Board and Ducks Away to practice addition. For subtraction, we used the book Five Speckled Frogs. In ELA we continued practicing our sight words, word families, and beginning sounds. We read stories about the seasons and the weather. For each story in ELA, we sequenced events, answered WH- questions, and completed a story map. In writing, students practiced using tools to build their own names. In specials, everyone loved visiting with Bogi
