Here are the pictures of Anna from yesterday. She read the traditional tale, Red Nose Frost and we learned about courage. Bradley was our child of the day today and he read Splash! We only listened to one chapter, but, this is a chapter book using characters from The Three Little Pigs. Thanks, Anna and Bradley...you both did a wonderful job! We enjoyed listening to your reading.
During math workshop, first graders worked on their math menu and finished their Picture Pie fractions. 2nd graders worked on fraction parts.
2nd graders also began learning about cursive writing. We just introduce it in 2nd grade, and I plan to send home a booklet to practice in this summer, but it will be covered in greater depth next year. So far, they have learned a, d, and g.
Today in reading we learned that readers tell about the setting in their retelling of a story. That includes, time, place, when, where: the details!
We did our observations of our plants today as the carrots, onions and radishes are all growing. In addition to our observations, we wrote a report of what we know about plant growth.
We took another look at Cynthia Rylant's Tulip Sees America and looked how she uses details to show what the location looked like that Tulip visited. We then used a graphic organizer to do the same thing with our narratives.
We have P.E. and Music tomorrow. Remember, Friday is a SIP day is there is no school for students. Be sure and go to the U-46 website and read the information about Swine Flu. Information went home yesterday in the students folders about precautions as well. I'm seeing LOTS of running noses....keep an eye on it and remind your student to use a Kleenex and WASH THEIR HANDS!!!! Keep your child home if they develop symptoms (see website or letter).
