Reading!
We learned that a good reader has to stop when something doesn't make sense in our reading or when a part sounds weird. We now know we have to stop, go back and try solving the tricky word using the strategies we have learned and then go back and reread the part to make sure it sounds right and that we sound like a storyteller!
We also have been introduced to all 40 sight words on the 1st list! We will be starting list 2 words this week! I have had the chance to start assessing a few students on these words and they are totally rocking it out! Awesome job kiddos!
Writing!
We celebrated our first Small Moment Stories this week by reading them to the class! Their special pieces will be coming home soon for them to share with you! We began a new unit where we are focusing on revision to make our stories even better! We all began a new story to use throughout this unit! I am hoping that being able to focus on one story will allow students to add more details!
Math!
This week in math, we looked at patterns on a 99 chart. We learned that when we travel from left to right the numbers increase by one, but when we move from top to bottom, we count by 10. We used this to find all the neighbors of given numbers. This is a big concept that we will continue to work on as it helps us in many areas of math!
Pumpkin Study!
On Thursday, we reinforced our math lessons by collecting and recording data using a pumpkin. After collecting our data, we had a pumpkin with triangle eyes, a triangle nose and spiky teeth! We were also able to act like a scientist by using our senses to investigate our pumpkin! We even got to gut our pumpkin!
Halloween Party and Duct Taping!
