Students review skills in math and reading, participate in writing conferences with teacher

We had a wonderful day. 

We did an independent review on multiple skills we have covered in math. We also worked on our math graphs.

We also did a multiple skills review in reading. But we were also able to get some silent reading in. 

We read more in our read aloud and it is getting better daily. It was one that we didn't know if we would like in the beginning, but now we like it.

We also worked on our writing, and I was able to conference with a few students. Conferencing with each child consists of me reading their writings, then I ask questions so they will elaborate on their details. For example, a child might write, "We eat dinner as a family on Thanksgiving." I will ask questions such as:  Where do you eat it? What is served? Do you have a favorite? They are able to answer these questions, but they don't include this information in their writings until I ask. In our room we say,"If you think you are done....you've only just begun!" 

Don't forget about Family Game Night on Thursday.

Have a great evening!
