Updates

I hope everyone had a great weekend. We have been very busy in class working on daily five and reading groups. See previous post for more information on the daily five. Students will soon be bringing books home from our guided reading groups. These will need to be returned daily. Please make sure to be practicing sight words. I will be sending home a list that our grade level has worked on broken down by quarters. We have been reading fiction and non fiction books to compare the different elements. In science we have been working on properties and will finish up with this unit on Thursday with a pumpkin exploration. You can see from the pictures below that the students are actively engaged in our fall exploration using tools that scientists use. We read, discussed and wrote about what science is. In math we are still working with ten frames, ten sticks, and counting on to develop addition strategies. This week we had two students lead us in our math routines. They did a great job. I hope to have everyone be a math student leader.
