We have had such a busy week this week! Everyone looked lovely for our school pictures!
In Reading, we focused on story elements. We identified the characters, setting, problem, and solution in many different books. We know that story elements are found in our fiction books.
We used a new site for Listen to Reading, Raz-Kids. This site allows us to listen to stories at our reading level and then answer comprehension questions about those stories. Students will bring home thier log-in information on Monday.
In Writing, we continued to focus on writing small moment stories. We are focusing on using transition words to help structure our writing. We are also focusing on using capitals and punctuation marks in our writing.
We also added comments to our classmates' blog posts. We know that our comments can be used to compliment the author, ask a question or add information to the post. We discussed how to interact positvely with others online.
We finished our unit on ten in math. We showed all different ways to make ten and played a a great game to hep us memorize our tens facts called Turn Over Ten.
We wrapped up our unit on Light and Sound this week. We created communication devices with a partner to allow people to communicate easily with one another. We had kids made string telephones, megaphones, and a "Bat-Signal" to help us communicate across a distance.
We are now beginning our unit on American Symbols. We learned what a symbol is and how they are used. We learned about the American flag. We will continue to lean about American symbols next week.
