We had a great time at Rype and Readi!
Thank you to Teddy’s Mom, Mrs. Morgan for being our first MYSTERY READER! We enjoyed listening to Finding Winnie and A Halloween Scare in Washington!
Delicious snow cones and extra recess for students who met their A.R. goal for 1st quarter!
What LEARNING and GROWING went on in room 217 this week:
Academics
ELA: Our class novel this week was Snot Stew by Bill Wallace. This story is about two kittens, Toby and Kikki, that are adopted by a human family. But misunderstandings of human ways and a limited grasp of language lands them in near-catastrophic situations.. We also practiced and sorted words with inflectional endings -ed and -ing as well as covering root/base words. Finally, we continued read realistic fictional stories and described how characters reacted to and solved problems.
Writing: We read I won’t ever eat a tomato by Lauren Child and wrote about things we liked and disliked. We really focused on descriptive language and editing our first piece to make it BETTER.
Math: Chapter 4 is giving us LOTS of strategies to solve double-digit addition. These mathematicians are really enjoying discovering which way works best for their brain.
Science: Matter
Students of the week:
Lily C. and Julian
