Tuesday

It feels like it's been forever since I've seen your children.  Between the snow day on Friday and then me out yesterday, I was glad to get back to the routine.  Both of my girls have been sick so Mrs. Jones covered for me yesterday so I could stay home with them.

Today, we had a "normal" day.  In writing, we did a shared writing where I'm showing them how to write a biography report. We talked about an exciting lead, a middle that has details and some personal comments, and a conclusion that wraps it all up.  We will look at this tomorrow again and students should be on their way writing their own. 

In reading, I showed students how to do this week's Write about Reading. This week, they are writing actual letters to me about the books they are reading. We are using a template on Kidspiration to do this, therefore, they are done on the computer.  We had guided reading and did the work board.  In word work, I read a book about suffixes.

This afternoon, we talked about using bar models to help us solve word problems using measurement.  I also did a few math assessments.

Please remember our field trip on Thursday morning. Students need cans of soup and permission slips.
Thank you!
