Math: We reviewed
addition facts, reviewed flipping addition facts, continued identifying
words—such as more or less—in word problems, continued counting by ones and
tens, completed patterns, identified numbers that are smaller or larger than
others, wrote the time, practiced illustrating word problems, and practiced
fractions using pattern blocks.
IEW: We read two
poems this week and identified our spelling words within the poems. We also
worked on creating sentences using our spelling words and illustrating those
sentences.
Riggs: Every
morning we test 30 words. We receive five new words each day, and the first
five words on the list that day drop off for the following day. So our spelling
words are a rolling list of 30. Check
student’s Riggs notebooks for checkmarks beside words. These are words they
need to practice for homework—along with their new five words that they receive
each day. Their new words are the last
five words written in their Riggs notebook. They are also written in their
planner each day.
Core Knowledge:
We officially began our Ancient Egypt unit! This week we learned about King Tut
and created his headdress. We also reviewed the mummification process and
created the Nile River using yarn.
Guided Reading:
Students working in reading groups and receiving coaching and instruction from
me both individually and as a group. Students are rotating between centers:
reading to self, reading with a partner, word work, and writing. We are also
reading Ancient Egypt books together during this time.
I enjoyed seeing my students at the Harvest Festival! Those
that weren’t able to attend were missed!
