Week 5

 Dear Parents, 

          This week in reading we Listened to the story Picture Day Perfection. We created mental images as we read and discussed the story. We learned that this story was realistic fiction. Everything in the story could have happened, but it was a made up story. We then took a comprehension check about it. We listened to the story It’s Only Stanley. We stopped just as there was an explosion. The children drew a picture about what they thought happened because of what they had heard thus far. We continued Learning about how to be a good citizen at school, home, and in our community. I led them on a guided direction page and assessed them at how well they followed directions. On Friday we learned about Labor Day and why we celebrate this holiday.

           In Math we had lots of fun as we asked questions, created our own, and created addition and subtraction stories about bar graphs and pictographs. We are really good at organizing our data. We also began fluency flight on iready which will help us with memorizing our addition and subtraction facts.

            In writing we learned how to be fearless spellers and use charts such as an alphabet chart, consonant cluster chart, and a word wall chart to help us spell.

            In science we continued to learn about how scientists stay safe, the tools scientists use and what an engineer does and why he/she does it. Next Week Wonder Wagon will be coming.
