Yeah! We actually get to get back into the swing of things with a full week of school. So we have tried to get as much learning into our full week that we can. I wanted to let everyone know that I will not be here at all next week. I will be taking some time off to go on a small trip to...Hawaii. I'm excited since I've never been. However, we will have an amazing sub, Mrs. Erin McQueen.
This week in Reading we will continue with our 2nd center Read to Someone. We learned how to be a Coach of Reading. We learned that to be a good coach, we must be encouragers for others since we want each of our classmates to succeed. If our partner is struggling with a word then we have learned to ask Do you need coaching or time? This is asking them do they just need a few more seconds to figure it out or do they need us to help with strategies we have learned? Now we continue that this week and add in a lot of Word Work with short vowels. We review all 5 short vowel sounds.
In Writing, we will begin our Narrative writing piece. We start off this unit with reading the story Square Cat (last week). Then we start to think of things that would be problematic and things that might be fun if one day we were to wake up and we were suddenly...square.
In Social Studies we complete our American symbols. Today we will be looking into a September 11th remembrance. It's crazy to think that the kiddos that are getting their licenses now were being born this year 16 years ago!! Then from here, we go into discussions of what we are really doing when we are saying The Pledge of Allegiance.
In Math, we will keep going forward with our Place Value unit. We will be learning how to Problem Solve with using Logical Reasoning(what we already know, background schema). We will work on reading and writing number words, counting by 5's, 10's, and 100's, and then comparing numbers to 1,000.
