Busy day today! We did our lesson 17 spelling tests and weekly comprehension/vocabulary/sigh word testing before getting into all new centers. There, we wrote a descriptive paper about our favorite candy. We did a sight word game, and listened to "Pete the Cat" on the cd player. After centers we had lunch and music. Then we "Dropped Everything and Read." We had PE followed by snack and then a game of "I have, who has," math related. We took some time to build our stamina in read-to-self, before doing math center work on estimation and rounding. Conferences tonight, valentines parties and store shopping day tomorrow!

We had a productive Monday today. We started off with our spelling pre test for lesson 17. Then we did a little sharing time followed by our daily math warmup. We had a language arts lesson where we learned about the ea blend, as well as a review of adjectives and pronouns. We also talked about setting. We broke into our daily 5 centers. Then we had indoor recess followed by social studies. There, we talked about goods and services, as well as a review of producer and consumer. We had PE/Library, then a short break for snack. We had a math lesson on sequence. The objectives were to be able to count forward and backward, analyze relationships between numbers in sequences, and discuss patterns in a horizontal hundred grid. They did great! We ended the day with unfinished work and RTI. Reminders: Yearbook $ as soon as you get it Bring in your valentines boxes when they are completed Wednesday is superhero day! Classroom wish list-409 spray or sanitizer wipes :) Thank you!!

Happy Friday! Today we finished up our daily 5 centers. We got started on a tear-art heart valentine that we are hanging up in the classroom to enjoy until Valentine's day. We had lunch followed by music, then we did a social studies lesson on producers, consumers, and income. We talked about things that are a necessity to buy, and things that are probably just for fun. I told them to be mindful of this when they go shopping with their families ;) We did a mini version of math centers before going to computer. Then we ended the day cashing in our 20 turtle time minutes for the week by finishing "Monsters University" and working on our heart crafts. Info: Supplies still needed for Feb 14th "Store" day (where we practice buying goods and talking about needs and wants when shopping): Dry Erase Markers, fun pencils, and individual wrapped snacks. Also, our classroom could use some more sanitary wipes and or 409 all purpose spray to keep our desks clean! Only if you are willing or able too. Much appreciated, thank you so much! :) Wed February 12th is Super Hero Day Wed February 19th is Class Color Day (purple!) Friday, February 28th is PJ Day Conferences are next Tuesday and Thursday! Looking forward to sharing our successes over these past few months. Enjoy your weekends! Indoor recess all week makes for some interesting 'movement' breaks. Gotta get those wiggles out somehow!

Today was a busy Tuesday day for us. We started with a language arts lesson. We learned lots of new robust words, including lethargic, diversion, disturb, procrastinate, cozy, and bewildered. We practiced our spelling words on our white boards before getting into our Daily 5 centers. After centers we had some time to work on our research papers. We did a sloppy copy and are starting our final drafts. We had lunch, PE, and music. Then we did a math lesson on money. The boys and girls were given a 'newspaper food ad' and had to tell their partner what to shop for. They had to draw the correct amount of money needed for those items. We ended the day with RTI.

I was gone this morning, but I had a really nice sub report to come back to, saying that the students worked really hard! :) This afternoon we started writing our research papers. The boys and girls have been reading non fiction animal books. They are choosing an animal to write a report on. We had PE and library followed by snack break. Then we got into math. We reviewed last weeks lessons on two digit addition and the different methods for solving. Then we started talking about money. We ended the day with RTI!

Today we spent our morning testing for the mid year benchmark language arts tests. These combine the last several lessons of language arts. They are doing great! After testing time we played "What's on my back?" Then we did a mini lesson on research papers. We talked about how non fiction books tell us facts. They got to explore 20+ varieties of non fiction animal and science books. They will continue reading them, then pick their favorite and write a research paper on their animal of choice. We had lunch and OUTDOOR recess :). Then we went to music followed by some handwriting in the classroom. We had PE and snack. We finished the day with a review lesson on adding two digit numbers. Have a great evening!
