Happy New Year!
It's great to be back! I hope you all had a wonderful relaxing holiday/break. I sure did and I raring to go today.
We began our day, after our morning meeting, we wrote our Weekend News. Students had to really focus on one aspect of the time they had off. After this, students worked on their published pieces. We are all almost done and ready to share. So exciting!
In computer lab today, we learned about a new site called Thinking Blocks. (www.thinkingblocks.com) Students were able to practice with bar models using this site. I love it! Next, Mrs. Pond showed us an activity using Kidspiration, pattern blocks and snowmen. It was challenging, but fun!
In reading we got used to the work board again. I have begun doing winter reading benchmarks today. Word Work had us being mind readers! Fun stuff using word wall words. I will send home the January word wall words tomorrow.
During math, we did an assessment and then Daily 5 math! Good stuff!
I sent home homework for the week: a reading log and a math log. There was also some information that goes with our math program about bar models with practice problems. Students are welcome to try some of those at home. Thanks for your support with this!
