Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful week. Progress reports will be going home next Tues.
Here is a re-cap of what we did this week:
Reading: During literacy centers, students worked on word work, handwriting, and completed a noun/verb word sort. I met with each reading group and we worked on a Reading A-Z book. We focused on phonics and comprehension strategies. I read the book, Big Anthony: His Story. The students are getting really good at making predictions, by using their prior knowledge and understanding the characters’ traits.
Writing: Students went through their portfolios and chose one project they felt showcased their talents. They then wrote why they picked the project. On Wednesday, students wrote another squiggle story.
Math: Students started to become familiar with the Hundreds Grid. They played a “guess my number” game and did a fun “color by number” activity. Students are learning how to write larger numbers and ordering. We will start to look at patterns of a 100’s grid and skip counting.
Social Studies: We have been learning more about India through books and artwork. Students learned that the national bird of India is the peacock and they have been busy creating a beautiful oil pastel picture of one.
Since next week is short, no new homework will be coming home. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your Thanksgiving break!
