A Peek at our Week
Writing: This week during Writing Workshop, students learned how to think of an idea for a story (something they have done or something that has happened to them). They watched me think of an idea for a story and plan that story across the pages. Pictures are an important part of the planning process, but we just need quick sketches at first. Once we finish the words to the story, THEN we can go back and add the colorful details to our illustrations. Writers also learned how to carry on independently by adding to the pictures, adding to the words, or starting a new piece of writing!
Math: Students are hard at work reviewing number bonds from kindergarten as well as learning the ways to make the numbers 6, 7, and 8. They are learning how to find page numbers in their workbooks and tear the pages out CAREFULLY. :) We have started solving application problems by drawing a simple math picture and writing a number bond, and a number sentence. Next week, we will continue to work with the parts to make numbers up to and including 10.
Word Study: This week, we worked learned about Superhero Vowels, and focused on the short A sound. Students worked with consonant-vowel-consonant words both in isolation and in various decodable texts. We also worked with the base word "camp" and thought of words related to that word (camps, camped, camping, campground, etc). Next week, we will focus on the short vowel I.
