We had a GREAT DAY today!!! This was probably the best day I have had with this class! They were ALL on it 100 percent today! They were awesome all day!!!
This morning for morning work we completed a March word search!We had our morning meeting where we did our calender weather, counting, math story problem, and discussed the day ahead.
We then discussed how to put words in ABC order. This is a tough concept, but the kids quickly caught on! We spent some time putting a list of eight words in ABC order. The kids did this individually and I worked one on one with students who where struggling. They ALL did a GREAT job!
We had two rotations during our centers time today.
Language arts time we introduced our new sight word of the week which is THERE. We discussed the word and came up with a couple sentences for examples.
We had music and movement following lunch.
We read aloud from our Magic Treehouse chapter book after music and movement.
Writing today. We discussed sequence of events. Students were to think about what they did yesterday and put them in order. They were to draw four pictures of the events and write sentences for the pictures. We ran short on time so not everyone finished but our discussion about the order of events was great. We will continue to talk about sequence of events throughout the year.
We had inside recess because of the rain/ice.
In math we all took a 3 minute math hot pencils test. I will get those graded tonight. The kids have ALL been improving each day on these!
We then took a quarter three assessment on identifying larger, smaller numbers and counting objects. I am sure all did fine on this.
Our main lesson of the day was three dimensional shapes as solids and what the shapes can do, roll, slide, build. We had an awesome discussion and I wrote on the whiteboard to guide our thoughts. The kids came up with great ideas and related the shapes to things they see in real life. It was a great discussion!
I had planned to get some addition skills in there but we ran out of time today!
We ended our day with science. We discussed living and nonliving things and wrapped up our chapter on what plants need. We discussed and related the science topics to everyday life. The kids shared things they have experiences and witnessed. It was a great discussion!!!
I am so proud of the progress that is being made each and everyday with the kids! It is incredible to witness their growth everyday!!
Please continue reading with your children 10-15 minutes each night! Encouraging them to sound out and tap out words they get stuck on. They need to be reading to you. It is very important to say GOOD JOB and encourage them while they are reading. Also discuss the story or book after it is finished to practice some comprehension skills. This puts a purpose to their reading and keeps them interested.
Work on addition and subtraction skills for 5-10 minutes each night.
Write two sentences each night. 1 with a period at the end and 1 with a question mark. Pay close attention to capitalization and punctuation. Encourage kids to tap out, sound out, and spell out their words!!!
Keep practicing sight words as well!!
The extra time each night pays off in the long run!!!!
Looking forward to a GREAT week!!!
