We went to an assembly first thing this morning and learned about the Power of One! Each of us has it in us to STOP bullying. Ask your child what they learned.
We learned in reading that schema makes all the difference. We made a T-Chart and listed on one side all the things we knew about 6-Flags, Great America. There was a LOT!!! Then, on the other side we made a list of what knew about Milry, Al. (it's where my mother is from) The students had no schema. It made the point that schema makes all the difference and helps us to understand characters and their feelings. It helps us to get into the book.
In writing we learned that writers savor the moment. They zoom in and stretch it out...savoring the moment. Just like we savor those freshly baked chocolate chip cookies...making it last.
After lunch and library, we reviewed our math goals, and then learned a few more games to help us achieve those goals. 1st graders worked on subtraction number stories and 2nd graders worked on fact families.
Have a GREAT night and don't forget to READ....READ....READ!!!
