Good Monday!
Today we had a great morning. We
started lesson 7 in language arts. We reviewed previous vocab, learned
new vocab (sight and robust) and reviewed ed/ing endings. We read aloud
the story "Gus and Grandpa," as a large group before breaking into
centers.
During centers we wrote a letter to our star student. We did
'word work' by writing our new sight words, but leaving out the vowels!
We also read to self, read to someone, and listened to "Gus and Grandpa"
on cd.
After centers we took our spelling pre-test. The boys and
girls checked these and they should be coming home today to start
practicing!
After lunch we had social studies. There, we talked
about natural resources and synthetic resources. Ask your child to
explain those vocab words to you :)
We had PE and right after library. We took a break for snack,
followed by math. In unit 2 we will be working with measurement. Today a
centimeter ruler was introduced. We explored the ruler by examining the
marks and what they meant. We did some practice pages that gave us practice with this.
We ended with RTI small group time and finishing up odds and ends.
