We learned in reading that our busy brains are constantly thinking but sometimes we get in a "fog" and don't understand what we are reading. We learned that we have to reread...read on...question our thinking....constantly thinking about the book and what is happening. We will finish up metacognition this week and began our study of schema next week.
In writing, we learned about big and little letters. We begin sentences with a capital letter, but we don't use them inside our words. We learned we begin names with a capital letter, but we don't use them inside our words.
We watched a video about Pocahontas and leaned how she help the settlers at Jamestown as part of our study of our past.
1st graders learned about nickels today and worked on exchanging pennies for nickels. 2nd graders learned about the 9 strategy. If you are adding 8+9 (as an example) think 8+10=18 and then 8+9 is one less. I loved hearing Chris tie that with knowing one more and one less and Branden was GLOWING when he said: "It's like you always say, you have to know the 100's chart inside your head...then adding 9 is easy!" Way to go!
Tomorrow is our field trip to Naper Settlement. Pay attention to the weather and dress accordingly. Send in lunches in a paper bag labeled with your child's name. All food has to be in disposable containers, including drinks.
Have a GREAT night and don't forget to READ....READ....READ....READ....
