Happy Friday! Today we finished our Theme 1 language arts testing (unit 1). The comprehension section of this test is always a challenge for students every year. Aside from that, they did wonderful. After our testing we did a few short centers. Then we went to the computer lab to AR test. After lunch we had a math lesson on equation chains (i.e. 5=4+1=1+4=3+2=2+3). Then we did social studies where we reviewed landforms and learned about the compass rose. We located stated on a map using directions. We had computer, turtle time, and PE to end the day! Have a wonderful long weekend!

Fri. Oct 11-Fun Game Friday

We had a great Friday! We started by our star student presenting her poster. Then we reviewed our language arts that we covered this week. We had fun friday game centers that the boys and girls had a blast with-painting word wall words, building words from yellow cubes, playing a direction following board game, playing charades with our word wall words, and doing a reader's theater play. After this we had a few minutes to read to self. After lunch we had music followed by a first grade class coming in to read with us (we were fill in reading buddies for the day). They were great leaders for this. We had social studies where we reviewed landforms. We also took an algebra quiz in math.

Tues. Oct 8-What to do when stuck on a word

Today we started our day by taking a 2nd grade class picture on the playground to go with our school wide bullying movie. Then we came in and did our morning routine along with unfinished work for the first 10 minutes. After morning meeting we worked on language arts. We reviewed the vowels ee and ea. The boys and girls have been finding lots of these words in their free reading books-good to see! They also know if they find a robust word that they get a glitter ball :) We did a mini lesson on what to do when you come to a word you don't know. They learned about Chunky Monkey, Eagle Eye, Lips the Fish, Stretchy Snake, Tryin' Lion, Skippy Frog, and Flippy Dolphin (ask them what each animal does!) After centers we had lunch followed by roller skating in PE. Then we had music, snack, math and story!

Fri. Oct 4-Great Friday!

Happy Friday! Today we had a lot of fun. We had our star student sharing, followed by our daily math warm up. There we came up with story problems, and the boys and girls had to write the corresponding equation frame that would match (i.e. ___+5=10). Then we did a language arts review of what we learned this week. This included some fun smartboard games. Then it was time for Fun Friday Game centers. The boys and girls did a word building board game, learned how to play "Spot it," played "Headbands" with vocabulary, charades with vocabulary, as well as a read-to-self and read-to-teacher station. They had a blast! After lunch we went straight to music. Then we came back and did more review on matching story problems with equations. This helps prepare children for writing algebraic equations with an unknown. It also helps them to read problems carefully to understand the situation. They are doing great. We had computer as well as art in the classroom. Then we earned our turtle time ___minutes, and enjoyed that free choice time! Have a wonderful weekend!
