We had a marvelous Monday.
We started with an assembly in the cafeteria.
We read silently for a little bit. They need to do
this daily. We worked on affixes today. We discussed what they
were, and said that they were broken down into two groups, prefixes and
suffixes. We have worked on these in the past, but they needed a
refresher. We also read The Pain and the Great One by Judy
Blume. I love this book! It is a great story and a great example of
point of view.
We also reviewed theme, and added information to our reading
notebooks.
We did our official introduction to fractions today. I
showed them groups and we made fractions out of them, explaining the purpose of
each number in a fraction. For example, I had three boys and one girl
stand in front of the classroom. I first asked how many children were
standing in front. (4) Then I asked how many were girls. (3) Then I asked
the number of boys. (1) Then we wrote two sentences. "One out of
four students are boys. Three out of four are girls. Then we made
our fractions.
There is no spelling this week.
Please remember to return picture money if you are ordering.
