Hayden was our child of the day. We enjoyed listening to Dr. Suess's ABC's. Thanks, Hayden!
Bradley shared some seashells that he picked up from the beach in Cocoa Beach, FL. He shared about his trip to Cape Kennedy and meeting an astronaut. Tomorrow I will be able to share an autographed postcard by the same astronaut, Winston Scott. Bradley sent it to us and it came in today's mail. Thanks for sharing, Bradley...it sounded exciting!
We learned our new word wall words today: made, down, my, did, over. Practice spelling them by using the SpellingCity link.
We began our new reading comprehension strategy today of visualizing. Visualizing is creating a mental image or a movie in our mind as we read. It is an educational fact that there is no comprehension without attaching new information to existing schema and creating a mental image as we read. This is an important strategy to help us remember what we are reading.
In writing, we reviewed leads and then we read the book, Shortcut. We looked at how the author left an echo with the reader by ending the story with a decision being made. We will work on endings all this week.
In math, 1st graders learned about frames and arrows...which is looking at patterns. 2nd graders reviewed frames and arrows with two patterns and then worked on making change by counting up.
We also went to the library.
Have a GREAT night and don't forget to READ, READ, READ!!!!
