Announcements:
I had a great week with your students! It was one whole week with no outside distractions. I got to spend five whole days learning about and teaching your kids, which is what I love the most. We have really fallen into a routine together and the learning train is really picking up speed. Conferences are next week! If you didn't get a link to sign up, let me know. Book fair is also next week! We will go on Wednesday as a class, but it will also be open later in the week and during conference times. Reading: In the words of one of the kids this year, "It's hard to read and think at the same time." He was right, it is! But that's the next step in becoming a good reader beyond just saying words. That was our skill focus this week, and beginning next week we will start diving deeper and deeper into the minds of good readers to find out what's going on in there. Writing: We focused on describing things for this unit, and the kids planned out the narrative of a time they gave a special gift to someone. They shared their ideas and conferenced to try and generate more, and today they wrote it. Math: The numbers sure are getting big in math. We added numbers all the way up past the millions, and then learned how to take some shortcuts and estimate. Look out for their first math quiz in the Friday Folder, the class did a great job! Social Studies: What does our government do and how is it organized? That's been the focus so far, and we'll continue into next week. Comments are closed.
