Today we had a great ending to a great week!
In Math we continued learning about place value with comparing, ordering, and finding number patterns. The students worked hard on this. We practiced together with the white boards as well as completed a few practice pages from the Singapore book independently.
No HW
The Place Value test will be next Thursday. Students will receive a study guide on Tuesday. They are going to be ready!:)
In my Reading class today we went over our Watson's homework, modeled and participated in our first Book Talk, and worked a little more with context clues. No HW
*In my reading class, I have very high expectations, as I do for all my classes. This group has been great, but I am afraid I have tried to excel some of my kiddos a little too high too fast. Therefore, I've decided to not continue the Watson's book with the entire class. It was a great way for us to begin and model Lit. Groups, but I will be starting 2 other books with some kids on Monday. These books will better fit their Lexile level as of now (Lexile based on the 3rd grade MAP Spring test). But don't worry, the kids who don't get to finish the Watson's now will most likely get to by the end of the 4th grade year! :)
In Science today we continued with structures and functions. We also reviewed all the content we've learned so far. We completed an activity explaining the structure and function of a plant.
No HW
The kids really enjoyed their Sundae compliment party! Thank you to those of you who were able to send in items. It went great!
We also got to meet our Math & Reading Buddies. This will be like Book Buddies, but we'll be doing a few fun content projects with our 2nd grade buddies ~ Mrs. Watts' class!
*Also, thanks for helping your kids keep up with the Book Logs! They are due Sept. 1. Remember, all students should be reading 20 minutes a night!
Have a good night,
