We had a very busy end to our week. We started our morning by responding to the messages in our dialogue journals. After our writing time, we too our word study assessment and had morning meeting. Today's morning meeting was in Spanish. We helped write the message, talked about the calender and completed our daily math routines. After mornig meeting we had our Reader's Theater Performances. This week the teacher's filled out a rubric to provide the students with some feedback about their performances. These rubrics will be going home in Monday Folders. Please review these rubrics with your child and help them to work on the areas that we have indicated need improvement. Overall, we really enjoyed listening to the performances and have seen a big impovement in the students reading fluency.
After lunch we had our non-ficition read aloud. Today we started to read the biography of Oprah Winfery. Ask your child to tell you what a biography is and what they learned about Oprahy Winfery. We also learned about a convention that will help us as readers of non-fiction texts. Today we learned about the index of a book. We added this convention to our convention books. We also had a mystery reader today. Thank you so much to Ms. Anderson (Danielito's mother) who read us a great book...Vote Sponge Bob. After our reader, the green gators took an assessment in mathematics and the red rhinos worked on creating different amonts of money with coins. To end the day we awarded the "goodies" in the estimation jar to Nicole who guessed the exact number of pieces of chocolate in the jar.
