This week:
We would like to recognize a new student! Welcome to OCSI, Grace! Our class total is now 19! :)
This week was a short week, but packed full of exciting learning!
Reading:
Read to someone: We have continued to gain stamina with Read to Someone and the students are doing great! They learned that if their partner gets stuck, they can ask, “Do you need coaching or time?” to help their partner out.
Author and Illustrator: We learned that every story has an author and illustrator. Sometimes it is the same person who does both. Ms. Turner read a story that she wrote when she was in 4th grade! For that story, Ms. Turner was the author and illustrator! The students can all be authors and illustrators when they write and draw stories.
Prediction: We briefly talked about making predictions. We learned that while reading a story, we need to make a prediction, or a guess to what might happen next.
Writing:
Good writers use upper and lower case letters appropriately.
Good writers go back and work on their older stories.
The students also love to share their writing at Author's Chair! The students listening have great questions to ask the Author.
Math:
This week jumped into learning about nickels! We learned that nickels are worth 5 cents. If we have 5 pennies, we can trade it for a nickel. We also continued to practice counting by 5’s so we can get better at counting nickels and pennies.
Bible: We went all the way back to the creation story to give a review as well as to show Grace all the stories we have learned so far. We continued with the story of Jacob having a dream where God spoke to him. God said that he would never leave Jacob - and His promise is still true for us today! God will always be with us.
Chapel: In Chapel Mrs. Godoy taught about the story of when the little children tried to come to Jesus. The disciples tried to push the children away, but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me.” Jesus loves children of all ages and wants them to come to Him!
