Tuesday

We started the work board in reading today!  It was great. Students got to read to self, listen to reading or work in a group. Some even began by going to the library.  I think it was successful!  We are using the headphones that you sent in for the listen to reading. They are very helpful.

I forgot to mention the homework for the week yesterday. I sent each child home with work from math that they have not finished last week. Let me know if what I sent home is not doable. I can adjust here. Thanks for your help.  Remember to pass the reading log in on Monday for the month of September.  There is also something about trees for homework.

In math this morning, we worked more with ordering and patterning 3 digit numbers. Students did well.
In writing, we learned about writing with details to make a small moment full. Students tried their hand at writing about something they know and adding many details.  Some even got to share!

In word work, we wrote the last of the review first grade words and put them on the word wall. We will be introducing new words on Monday!

Finally, we watched a video where Kevin Henkes talked about his work as a writer. We have been reading many of his books aloud. We reread Chrysanthemum and discussed elements such as character, vocabulary, and author's message about this book. We will do the same with other books of his.
