Friday

Happy Friday! :)

*I forgot to remind the kids about the Book Log being due!! However, I was SO IMPRESSED by how many students remembered on their own! YAY! I will take the Book Log on Monday!

Here's what we did today:
For math we worked on our multiplication facts, played Around the World, and Multiplication Bingo.  We also worked on Math Tiles with our 2nd grade Math Buddies. 

During Social Studies time we worked on our new unit - US Regions. We began with the Northeast region. It was fun seeing what the kids knew about the 13 colonies.  After finding the states and state abbreviations for the Northeast Region, students went through a cool website about living in Jamestown during the early settlement.  Students had to choose where the best place to live, what to grow, and how to react with strangers was.  Some of the kids had to try out different methods before they were successful! :)

For reading time, I finished one of the KBA books aloud. Kids could earn AR points for this.  Students also had time to free read during writing conferences. 

For writing time we are working VERY hard at finishing our Memoir and PTA pieces. They are coming together! I think I'll be excited to start as new piece just as much as the kids will be!!

During science time today we spoke mostly about the WEG.  The students were very interested in it and we were able to see a small glimpse of each sport that will be held.  Hopefully you and your family can attend one of these games soon!

Please remember, students need a WHITE SHIRT that they can write on.  Students will be doing this on MONDAY so they can wear their shirt on Tuesday.  I have a few extra if needed.

*I will not be in the classroom on Monday as we have a PD to attend.  I will try and write the blog after Mrs. Yeary (my sub) has a chance to let me know how the day goes.

Have a good weekend,
