Thank you to the many parents who came to curriculum night. I enjoyed sharing all that your child will be learning this year!
In reading this week we have learned the strategy "go back and reread when it doesn't make sense." We practiced this during readers workshop in class, it is the first strategy to use when your child is stuck. We read the book The Big Bed. I modeled going back to reread.
In writing we are well into the writing workshop. We are writing for 20 minutes independently. Students are using materials independently too. They've learned "when you're done you've just begun!" They have been trying their best at drawing and writing even if it is hard. Today we will read Donald Crews book Freight Train to see how authors label their picture and try it in our own writing.
In Social Studies we are learning about rules. We discussed when a rule is unfair. We will sort pictures of things that are fair and unfair.
In math we compared numbers playing top it and we played bunny hop! Student hopped their bunny on a number line. We reviewed making tally marks and talked about when we tally mark to show points in a game or to keep track of data. Students practiced counting animals with wings and without wings and tallied their results. We will have a homelink tomorrow night.
Tomorrow is popcorn day, it's one dollar for a bag at lunch time.
Have a great day!
Mrs. Scheck
