Soling Class Newsletter
By: Eva and Sophie
Gym\ P.E.
In gym we have had options lately to pick something we want to do like: Basketball, gymnastics, or scooters. It was very fun being able to pick anything we want that is in the room. Loads of people have been using two scooters like someone holds a scooter and roams with it while someone else is sitting on another scooter while holding onto the one that the roamer is holding onto.
Music
This week in music Mrs. Mullane said we are going to take a test about the staff. This whole week so far we have been learning about the staff for this upcoming test. Monday, we had Polly spots and we had to guess someone's staff line and throw the yarn ball to them.
Math
In math we have been learning about bar diagrams, picture graphs, and the key! We have been practicing our division facts and multiplication facts. In our student math books we have been solving many keys to the diagrams. We have been doing all these things for homework as well.
Daily 5
During Daily 5 we are doing different close reads and highlighting the words in the story. Above the words that are highlighted we write what the words are such as verbs, nouns, compounds, contractions, similes, onomatopoeia and more. We have been working on our new weekend news and when we are finished we go onto Typing.com!
Writing
For writing class we are learning past tense and doing an ice cream persuasive writing. We have some posters on the back wall showing things to help us with our literacy. For example we have a Generalization poster to help us with our close reads. We have a vivid verb poster and with that poster it helps us put details into our weekend news.
Extra
This week lately has been very fun! We got a new student and have trying to behave very well. Most of us are crowding the new student to make her feel comfortable. We all hope she is having a great year so far. Her name is Cami and she is the new student.
When we are done with some things we go and play Typing.com, versa tiles, and sometimes Prodigy.
