Due to the shortened day, we had a bit of a zigger zagger schedule. We began our day with snack and went right to morning meeting. It is the 121st day of school today! We had quick shares and then went to computer lab. Today in the lab, we did 2 things. First, we chose something for our portfolios and wrote the reflections. I'm trying to get kiddos to be more reflective in their comments about the assignments that they've chosen. Also, in computer lab, I introduced students to Moby Max. They have a log in to this site and I had them take a placement test for math. This will be the work we do on the computers during math stations next week. The placement test determines which Common Core skills are needed for instruction and gives them lessons on these, totally based on how they performed on this placement test. I'm excited about this!
In word work, we did a challenging activity with 'r controlled' vowels and vocabulary. Also, this afternoon, we did reading and writing to end the day.
Did you know your child can access his/her own Kidblog site and upload pictures, writing, etc? Don't worry, everything that he/she wants to post goes through me first! I have to approve it by reading and looking at it. If your child would like to try to do this at home and doesn't know how, please let me know. I can help! It's a pretty cool thing. Some of our classmates have already done it!
