"December's wintery breath is already clouding the pond, frosting the pane, obscuring summer's memory...” John Geddes
We had a lovely Monday morning together. Students were introduced to a new (in class) reading project that focuses on Nonfiction Text Features. We also finished comprehension answers for our What Do Illustrators Do? story. Students will take the Vocabulary and Comprehension test for this story tomorrow.
Students enjoyed Brain Gym with Ms. Karen as well. They worked on Starfish stretches, Sun Salutations, Finger Tapping and Planks. They also organized their brains by making pictures using the clover leaf pattern.
Students took the Spelling Test this morning. They'll take the next Pretest on Wednesday, our Early Release day. Our next rule features Unexpected Consonant Spellings. Students will have homework on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. They'll have two more assignments due before next Wednesday's test (the 13th).
Our math lessons this week ask students to represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division, develop the subtracting-a-group strategy, and use all four operations to generate equivalent names for numbers. We will finish Unit 3 on Wednesday so we will review for the test the next day. The Unit 3 assessment will be given on Friday.
The last Scholastic book order for the year will go home today. Please consider buying books for holiday gifts for your child. I can hold the books in the classroom for parents to pick up at their convenience if that works best for a surprise gift. Our classroom code is HB244.
Have a fantastic week! :)
