Since I was out of the building on Friday, Neha did not have a chance to read, so she read today. We enjoyed listening to her read If You Give a Pig a Pancake.
We learned a new way to look at our word wall words. We are reviewing words this week. We learned today what the language of metacognition is: "I was wondering..." "I noticed..." "I remembered...." "I was feeling..." as we learned more about reading is thinking.
During writing, we learned how we "chop up" unknown words to spelling them. We break our unknown words into syllables, every syllable needs a vowel, we listening carefully to the sounds we hear and write them down left to right.
After we returned from the library this afternoon, 1st graders worked on pennies and played the Penny Grab Game. 2nd graders worked on doubles facts and then played the Broken Calculator Game.
Don't forget we have a field trip on Wednesday to Naper Settlement. Remember to send in a lunch in a disposable bag. Label the bag with the students name. We will not be able to carry lunch bags or plastic containers of any kind.
