We worked on our new word wall words. Go to the Wiki to see what they are and practice spelling using spellingcity.
Our reading lesson was a visual of how schema is the foundation for all our reading (and writing....and math....and....) That's why it is soooo important that we read to our kids. Especially now at this age when they are reading on their own, they need to hear fluent readers reading books that are above their reading level but students can still comprehend what is happening. Build that background knowledge! Robert Munsch....Eve Bunting....Cynthia Rylant...Mem Fox....Pat Huthcins....Helen Lester...all GREAT authors.
In writing we learned about adding descriptive words to our writing. We read the book That's My Dog and then brainstormed words we could use. We also did (during our morning message) a word exchange chart for "went": ambled, trudged, trekked, hiked, waddled, etc. We also read as our read aloud today, Night in the Country by Cynthia Rylant and looked at all the wonderful descriptive words she used to bring the story alive.
During math, we worked whole group on number sense and problem solving. Then as students worked independently on their Daily Number Review and Problem Solving Log I worked with first graders on subtraction number stories using money and 2nd graders on fact families and subtraction.
Have a great night and don't forget to READ....READ....READ!!!
