May 8, 2009

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a wonderful week! Unfortunately, we were very chatty today!

We started off the morning with our word study tests which went very well! During our daily five, our friends continued to practice reading to self and reading with a partner--a great way to practice this at home is to say to your child after reading a book "Check for understanding"--they know that when they hear that, they need to tell what they remember from that page. Another way to practice is to try "echo reading", where one friend reads the story, and the other friend has to read it exactly the way that they heard it. This a great way to practice reading fluently.

During math today, some of our friends played the game "Collect 25 cents", where we had to collect a total of 25 cents using different coins. In Miss Ras' math class, we played a game using cubes and dice, and had to build towers of 6. From that, we made number sentences!

Next week, we will be starting a new experiment in science!

Have a great weekend!
