We sorted our new word wall words. Be sure and practice reading them and writing them. Go to spellingcity.com and practice!
Today we learned about metacognition (thinking about our thinking). We learned that good readers brains are always busy thinking.
In writers workshop we learned that that we need to have a goal or a target to aim towards. We also learned that this is true in reading, writing, word work, and math! We are setting goals in each of these areas as well as personal goals that will help us be better readers, writers, spellers, mathematicians, and learners.
During math workshop 1st graders learned about the unit box. We learned that when we answer a problem we have to say what the unit is: cents, dollars, etc. A label. As an example: I have 3 books. Gavin gave me 2 more. How many books do I have altogether? 5 BOOKS.
2nd graders worked on addition number stories where they not only identified the unit, but wrote their own stories. They also worked on the number grid.
Tomorrow is a Monday switch day and we will have library. Be sure and bring your books.
And....don't forget to READ, READ, READ, READ....
