Today we did our normal morning routine
followed by calendar. After calendar we did our daily math warm up and
then got into our language arts smartboard work. We reviewed our robust
words for the week (brisk, strutted, gobbled, paced, request, negotiate,
compromise, and improve), as well as our sight words. We talked about
writing juicy sentences and adding details to our work. I hung up 4
different writings and we stared them with a 1, 2, 3, 4. We are aiming
to make all our writing 4's!
During center time we pretended we were turkeys as
thanksgiving is quickly approaching. What are we going to do? Should we
hide? Should we write a letter to the president telling him to make a
different bird the tradiational thanksgiving dinner? We laid down, and
visualized what we should write about. We then got with a friend and
discussed before setting off to work. We are going to write a rough
draft, then conference with the teacher, before making a final draft.
After lunch we did a math lesson on story problems and venn
diagrams. We then had 20 minutes to work on stamina building before we
headed off to computer.
After computer we had snack as we worked to finish unfinished work.
We are trying very hard to get 25 turtle time points (we didn't have
free time Friday, instead we carried those minutes over to start this
week) in order to have a PJ party!
