Tuesday

This morning, we worked on subtraction with regrouping.  This is a tough concept! We will continue to keep it going.  Tomorrow we have a representative from the Math in Focus program come into our class to teach a lesson. I can't wait!

After PE, we had reading for the remainder of the morning. I modeled how to complete this week's write about reading.  It's a summary and it's a lot of work!  We wrote one together about Gooney Bird Greene (the read aloud).  Work jobs took us to lunch time.  I enjoy having reading in the middle of the morning.  I may need to revisit the way the schedule goes!  It's good to change it up!

When the students come back from lunch and recess, I read aloud to them. This is a nice transition from the outside world back into the classroom. We finished Owen and Mzee. Next, we did word work. The focus of that lesson was beginning blends and the difference between a blend and a digraph. After that, we moved into writing workshop where some students were typing their published pieces while others did other work.
