On Wednesday we met with our buddies from Mrs. Gastreich‘s class. We read the book titled The Best Part of Me. This book was written by children and they took ordinary body parts and described why they were special. After the story, the students shared with their buddy their "Best Body Part" and wrote it on a post it note.
The students are doing a great job during word study. They all really enjoy using the dry erase boards to write letters, blends, short and long vowel patterns, counting the sounds in words and spelling correctly, and writing sentences with correct capitals, spaces and ending marks!
Geography
We started geography after the break. They have been busy learning about...
- 5 oceans and 7 continents
- landforms
- maps
- map symbols
- map key
- compass rose
If your child has any maps around the house from places they have been, feel free to send them to school next week. They will bring the map back home.
Student Binders:
Since they bring home their leadership binders on early release days, I hope your child showed their binder to you this week. If you did not see your child's binder, please ask them to bring it home next week.
The students are working hard on their snap words during the word work station during Daily 5, Word Study time as a class, See Saw word wall activities, and during Writer's Workshop. Please remember they are not just working on reading the words, but spelling them correctly too.
They are all really proud of the leadership section in their binder. They have several of the 7 Habits papers in the binder. We have a few more to go! There are some reflections from stories that we have read as well.
Many of them are really good at putting these behavior passes and treasure chest passes in their binder. They LOVE getting these passes and I am sure they were excited to share this with you.
