Monday, January 11, 2016

What a beautiful, mild day. We LOVED our outside recess today. There were no arguments or troubles. The kids were just so happy to run and be loud. 

The fluency passage this week is about Martin Luther King, Jr. This helps us know why there is no school next Monday. I'm excited to share more about him over the week. 

 
I was so happy to meet with 5 small groups during reading while the kids worked hard on their centers. 

Our phonics pattern is o-consonant-e and u-consonant-e. We will continue studying word families (which will aid in more fluent reading) and to help us, we met Chunky Monkey. He reminds us to look for chunks we know in unknown words. 


We are doing a little social studies this week, by comparing life in the past to now. C. C. The Cow helps us Compare and Contrast. 


Measuring continues to be a fun, hands-on way to end the day. I enjoyed watching the kids play a subtracting game with some of my new dice. 


Looking forward to more good days this week.
