This morning our morning meeting was in Spanish. We helped write morning message, talked about the calender, and completed our daily math routines. After our morning meeting, we completed our biographies about someone in the class. These writing pieces were written without any instruction and will be used as a way to inform the teachers about what skills the students need to learn in order to write a GREAT biography. After writing workshop, we had our reading workshop minilesson. Today's lesson was on how readers "step-into" the story by creating images in their minds. Today we practiced this "special" kind of reading with the story Spaghetti by Cynthia Rylant. Ask your child to describe the kinds of images that came to their minds as we read. After our minilesson, the students worked on the word study routine and only their daily five choices.
After lunch, we read a little more out of the book Stanley in Space. In math, the green gators practiced our doubles in Spanish. The green gators worked on facts such as 4 + 4= 8 and 10 + 10=20. The rhinos worked on story problems which required them to find the perimeter of certain shapes. These problems required the students to add three two digit numbers. Please continue to support your children in the strategies that they are using to solve two digit addition problems when they are working on their homework.
