This past week was a busy one with students taking the CoGat test 3 mornings of the week. They all did a great job with staying on task, quiet, and working hard! Way to go!
Here is a look at some of the things we did...
Reader's Workshop--> We continued to work on our fluency when we read. We also talked about characters, setting, and details in a fictional story. We read some books on Benjamin Franklin (historical fiction). During our Daily 5 time, students are working on the "Read to Self" for 20 minutes. This is a time where they sit in a quiet spot in the room and just READ. It's also the time for Mrs. Screptock to conference with individual students. We also "read with someone", "listen to reading", complete "word work", and we "work on writing". Lots going on all at once!
Phonics--> We did a little work with s-blend words.
Math Workshop--> We focused on addition within 10. We are working on different ways to make 4, 5, 6, and 7. Next week we will focus on 8, 9, and 10. During our independent work time, students are able to play math games to strengthen their skills, as well as use hands-on materials to master concepts taught.
Social Studies--> Benjamin Franklin has been our focus this week.
Science--> States of water has been our focus this week. We conducted an experiment with 2 cups of water. One had a lid on it and the other did not. They were placed out in the garden and we watched them for 5 days. Ask your child what happened to the cups of water!!
Have a great week!
