Fun Friday News!
This Week:
Reading: We tried the first time running through a choice for Daily 5 - The students got to choose between Read to Self, Read to Someone, Work on Writing, and Word Work. Throughout the week the students did all of them but got to choose what order they wanted to do it in. It went great! Next week, we’ll have 3 more choices including Listen to Reading, Book Shopping, and a Reading Group with Ms. Turner.
This week we looked at question words. We looked at the different question words as well as learned the importance of asking questions while reading. What is going to happen next? Why did the character do that? When did that happen? Where are they going? are all GREAT questions to ask while reading.
Math: This week we looked addition and subtraction. We learned the vocabulary with those words such as more, less, plus, minus, equal to, add, subtract. We solved some math facts as well as learned about solving number stories. It’s always a good idea to draw pictures while trying to solve number problems. The students did great with it! We finished Unit 2 today with some review of counting pennies and nickels, reading clocks to the hour, reading tallies and graphs, and addition and subtraction facts.
Bible: We are continuing through the exciting story of Jacob and Esau. Even though Jacob tricked his brother 2 times, God still uses him for a part of His great plan that he promised to Abraham. We made some finger puppets to help us tell the story.
Here is a fun video about the brothers.
