Read on to learn more about some of the highlights from the past week!  Language Arts: This week during FUNdations blocks we learned the trick words what,   when , who, where, there and here and we added a new word of the day "ducks" and talked about its multiple meanings. We also read in small guided reading groups and did center work that included the suffix "s", and creating short stories from Story Cards.
