Today!

We began our day with our Tuesday morning meeting focusing on our days of the week, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXMofxtDPUQ)
the weather, special events coming up, and the number of days we have been in school!

We then transitioned into some reading strategies. We focused our efforts today on...

This strategy involves using the first letter of a word and the picture to figure out the tricky word.

Students then put this strategy into play doing some read to self and read to someone.

After some intense games of soccer in the gym the students went back to class for a snack and a story.

We then moved into some word work stations practicing word families using am and an

Students found several words that used these family of words like ham, ran, ram, hand, and so many more!

We then did our tri weekly basic facts test in which the students answered 20 + &- questions. I use this data throughout the year to measure student growth!



After math, students had some time to finish writing their "what I did on the weekend". We use a walking story format to support students writing a minimum of 4 sentences with pictures!

In the afternoon students went straight to music before returning to class for a science experiment!

Today we tested how solids dissolve in liquids!
Ask your children if sugar, baking soda, and coffee grounds dissolve in water!

Have a great evening everyone!
