This week was a short one because of our day off on Labor Day. Hope everyone had a nice, long weekend!
Here's a look at what we did in class this week....
Reader's Workshop--> We started a Reader's Theater script for "Old MacDonald's Noisy Farm". We worked on story elements (character, setting, plot). We also got into learning about FLUENCY. Reading like the character would talk or reading smoothly...not like a robot. Daily 5 has been rolled out in the classroom and students are going to the 5 centers throughout the week. A favorite among the class is "Listen to Reading" where they can go on to Raz-Kids and listen to stories on the computer.
**Thank you to those who have sent in headphones with your child!
Phonics--> We worked on r-blend words this week. At the end of the week, we took a spelling assessment to see how they are learning the r-blend words.
Math Workshop--> We are getting into addition of numbers within 10. Last week we focused on different ways to make 4 and 5. (ex: 3 and 1 is 4, 2 and 2 is 4, 1 and 4 is 5, 2 and 3 is 5, etc.) We have also worked out of our Math Journals doing addition and subtraction story problems. During math workshop time, students go to centers to work independently. These are: At Your Seat (completing a worksheet), Math Games (games that reinforce skills that we are working on), Hands-On activities (anything that uses manipulatives to practice skills we are working on), and Teacher Choice (activities with the teacher guiding the group).
Science--> We've still been working on weather journals and talked about Water and how it changes states (liquid, solid, evaporates).
Have a wonderful week!
