Tuesday

I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend.  Today seemed like a Monday for sure. We began our day doing something different.  I started with a math lesson and then we broke into groups for math stations. Some students played a math game, some worked on math facts, others did independent work,  some worked on the computer and others worked with me.  It was great!  After PE, we had snack and morning meeting. Next came reading.  I showed students what we were doing this week for Write About Reading. Students this week will be preparing a book talk on a favorite book from the classroom library. This week, they will brainstorm the important parts of the book for this book talk. It is my hope that students will share their favorite books with each other by the end of the week.

After lunch and recess, we read The Paperboy. Next I introduced the 5 new word wall words for the week: street, long, give, through, and school. Finally, in writing workshop we began the revision stage of our narrative writing. Students partnered up and asked each other questions using the iPad to record the questions. Tomorrow we will learn to take those questions and add them in somewhere to our writing.

New homework went home today. Let me know if you have questions!  Thanks!
