Monday and Tuesday

Kevin Skarupa came today!  We learned a lot about weather today.  The students will be on TV tomorrow morning at 6:15.  Set your alarms!

In math, we are learning about money. Students have identified coins such as quarters, nickels, dimes and pennies. Today we looked at bills as well. We are skip counting to get ready for counting coins and bills.

In computer lab yesterday, we drew pictures and wrote sentences about our favorite types of weather. I will put these into a class book when everyone is done.

We did our weekend news yesterday and finished up today. Students are working on reflecting about their week in guided reading. I ask students to think about what they are doing well each week as well as what they will work on the following week. This week, we talked about the definition of being successful at something. They needed to give me reasons for why they were successful with something rather than just listing it.  This requires a lot of thought.

We've been concentrating on contractions in Word Work. Yesterday we played a game in partners forming contractions.  We will have WIN groups tomorrow.
