We are working so hard every day. We started with a
school bus glyph today. This is where directions have to be read and
followed. For example, one of the statements was, "If you ride to
school in a car, color your bus yellow." I like these because there
are usually no two alike.
In reading we worked with context clues and did some
vocabulary review. We also did our cold reads today. Remember, this
is the first time a passage is seen/read. I time each student for one
minute and figure out a percentage of correct words.
We also wrote a "Super Sentence" today. This
is where we start with a basic sentence such as, "The pig ate."
We discuss the fact that this is a correct sentence, but if we read a book with
sentences like this, we wouldn't enjoy it. We then choose describing
words (adjectives) and a where and a when (adverbs) to make one great sentence.
They love writing only one sentence, but I tell them I am picky. It has
to be "Super!"
In math we did a shot place value review ad worked more with
rounding.
In science we read about what plants need. Then we
discussed how humans and plants need some of the same things. We filled
in a chart to show this.
Your child has homework tonight. It is very short, but
please go over it with them. Rounding is giving us fits. So I sent
home a simple practice page.
They children like having a secret word. I told them
it has to change daily, as they end up telling each other the word.
Today's word is popcorn.
