Wow! This week flew by! This MONTH flew by !
Our letter for the week was "i" and our sight words were "what" and "will." We read many stories about winter such as Snow, Stranger in the Woods, Snow Family, and Snow on Snow. We read Snowballs and made cooperative snow creatures. The books Tacky the Penguin and The Important Book were the inspiration for some writing about how we are special and important and for the fun penguins we created for our hallway! Artwork and writing will be displayed Open House Night!
This week was CBM testing. Each student was pulled for a series of timed tests on sound recognition, blending nonsense words, reading, and number quantity discrimination. In class we wrote a response to a writing prompt. We have been practicing "Turn That Question Around" or TTQA which is recycling some of the words in the question to make a complete sentence answer. The students are really doing a great job with this concept!
We continue to practice addition using dice, creating story problems, and recording our thinking using the addition symbol and equals sign. We will be practicing subtraction next week! Sequencing and order of events in a day were a focus this week too.
We are continuing our conversations about empathy, bullying, supporting friends, and noticing positive friendly behavior of others! I am seeing a growth in our classroom!
We ended our week with a fun get together with our fifth grade buddies from Mrs. Bennick's class. Today we had Game Day. We split our classes between the two rooms to enjoy time playing board games and working puzzles! It was a blast!
Thank you to Mrs. Marron, Mrs. McHale, Mrs. Ranjan, and Mrs. Hallissey for leading the Literacy Groups this week!
I hope to see EVERYONE on Tuesday, January 31st for Open House!
Have a great weekend!
