Kendall was our child of the day and she did a GREAT job reading Along Comes Jake! It was very funny! Great Reading, Kendall!
Alisha shared some of her writing that she did over break. She wrote two non fiction pieces: one about bears and one about Golden Retrievers. Thanks for sharing and helping us to build our schema!
In writing, we read Peter's Chair by Ezra Jack Keats and saw how the author wrote feelings for his character to help add to the story and help the reader visualize.
In reading, we read Snug in Mama's Arms. They listened to my thinking, my little voice inside my head (metacognition) and saw how I could visualize what the author was trying to write.
We began our new vocabulary unit by reading The Three Little Wolves and the Big, Bad, Pig. There is a letter in your child's mail explaining the new words. We also added to our word wall words. Check out Spelling City and practice your new words.
First graders learned about money today in math and 2nd graders learned about changing numbers with number stories. They also worked on a special holiday project...but that's a secret!!!!
They had indoor recess today because of the weather. I'm noticing quite a few are coming to school without hats, gloves/mittens or warm coats. Please make sure students are dressed for the weather.
Second Grade students will take their winter reading MAP test on Friday. 1st graders will take it in January.
