A Week in Review!

Another busy week...so busy I apologize for not posting earlier. We had a bus evacuation drill on Wednesday. Our math MAP testing was postponed until this Tuesday afternoon.

We are learning to be voracious readers. Voracious readers build their vocabulary...they read fluently...and comprehend what they read. All students now have a book baggie that holds books that are at their independent reading level. They also have a reading log where they keep track of their daily reading so they read in every genre. This week they will get their reading response log to keep track of their thinking. Voracious Reading!

We went to the library this week. Students should keep their library book in their backpack so they can read at any free moment: before school...on the bus...voracious reading!!!!

We are learning to write Personal Narratives. We learned that a personal narrative is a story about an event in the writers life that adds personal comments and observations.

In math we finished unit 1 and a review of progress went home. The upcoming progress report (which will come home on Oct. 6) will also indicate if there are any concerns.

Here are a few pictures from our week...but my favorite is the video of the students listening to Dr. Layne read his book: Love the Baby. We listened two times and they wanted to hear it again!
