Monday!

*A few things:
I do not blog on Fridays! :)
Please help your child remember to ask you to sign planner (it is their responsibility, not yours!)
HW will begin tomorrow...Literacy Letters will begin next week after I have had a chance to meet with each student about choosing "Good Fit" books.
Snacks are allowed as long as they are healthy
Please send your child with an umbrella!! You never know!! :) :) :)

Math: I can read multi digit numbers in standard and word form.
Today we worked on the flow of math groups.  Students may move from groups from time to time, but they will usually work in these groups.  There is a teacher led group, activity group, and practice time.

Literacy:
I can explain the difference between inferred and explicit details. 
We worked a lot on this with finding evidence in our texts to support what our inference stated.
I can read with proper phrasing.
Students worked on reading and comprehending a poem about the pollution of trees.
I can describe my body language during writer's workshop.  I can make connections to myself from other texts.
Students listened to a story and made connections to important events and people in their lives. This will help us with writing a personal narrative later on.
**Sight Words and Prefixes:
Students were given 5 sight words this week. They wrote them in their ABC journals.  Students were also given the prefixes, pre- and post-.  We briefly discussed these words and wrote them in the planners.  Students will be practicing on these weekly in class.  Students will read and spell the words by Friday (sight words) and use the words correctly by Friday (prefixes).  Thursday for this week.

Science:  I can explain why the food chain begins with the sun.
We worked on Round Robin groups to create land and water food chains.  Please ask your child the Learning Target.  If they answer correctly, please place a star in the planner.

THANKS! :)
