Another GREAT DAY!!!! The kids were EXCELLENT again today! We are on our way to a full week of excellence!! I am very happy with their behavior and participation in all activities!!
For our morning work this morning we did some counting activities. The kids did a great job with this. Once they finished they had some reading time!
Fundations time was spent discussing the CH and SH word blends. We had a great discussion and completed a worksheet that asked us to color words with the CH or SH ending and beginning. Mastering these blends will help move the kids along with their reading skills!
We had computer lab where we worked on Odyssey Math. The kids did a great job and earned 10 minutes of free time on tux paint!!
Language arts time was my favorite part of the day! The kids did a GREAT job on a reading packet! We will really be hitting comprehension strategies through the end of the school year. ALL the kids did a GREAT job on this. I read the story out loud then we read together. We discussed the vocabulary and then worked on the questions together. I stressed the importance of going back to the story to check for the correct answer. This type of work is stressed all throughout school. It is the basis for the Iread test. The kids must be able to read for comprehension and a lot of that goes back to being able to go back and find information in text.
We worked on this after lunch as well.
Math today we did an assessment for quarter 3. The kids were great throughout this time as well. We had our hot pencils test. More and More are passing everyday! Several are now on subtraction!! We did a larger number activity to refresh our skills.
Writing today we wrote to our fourth grade friends at Bittersweet elementary! The kids came up with great questions!! They all did a great job writing and I can see their skills improving every time we write! It is great!
We had recess and snack.
Science was spent discussing yesterdays inquiry and reading about plants in our big book! We had a very good discussion! The kids then completed a vocabulary worksheet labeling a flower!
We had some time for partner reading and discussed our daily activities at the end of the day!
Today was AWESOME! Please continue encouraging your children to come to school ready to learn everyday!!!
Looking forward to Thursday!!!
