We have reached the last full week of the first quarter! Can you believe it's been nine weeks!? I am amazed at the growth I have seen. This quarter our roots were burried deep in community. We have learned that we need each and every friend in our class and without them our community would not be complete. We've dabbled in collaboration of all kinds and each day we paint with bursts of creativity and deep critical thinking.
Just a few pictures that snuck out of last weeks blog! Character day cuteness!!!
Our Good Citizen!
This week's good citizen showing off his detailed poster!
This week we worked on segmenting sounds and then blending them back!
More Math Centers!
Thanks to your help cutting and gluing, we've got more math centers! These math centers are going to reinforce the things we are learning during our math lessons. Addition and subtraction here we come! Thank you to all the wonderful parents who cut these out!
Addition and Subtraction here we come!
This week was a big week! We dug deep into addition and subtraction. The next few weeks will be full of adding and subtracting!
ELA Workshop
During ELA Workshop one of our centers is spelling. Every day there is a differnt spelling activity that needs to be done. On this day we were writing our words 5X. Spelling words and practice is differentiated as students all have different words. These words are determined by a pre-test taken the week before.
NEW BOOKS!
Thank you all for your generosity! We are loving all of our new library additions! Now, there is something for everyone to read!
Here are Good Citizen is reading his book!
All Hands On Math!
As we are learning to add and subtract, cubes and other manipulatives have been very useful! Stay tuned for a video on how to add and subtract using tens frames.
Messy Math Facts
We are knee deep in math facts! Our mathematicians are working hard to memorize their basic math facts. This is such a foundational skill that will help math problem solving into adulthood.
Caught being a Good Citizen!
We have two teacher cadets at the end of the day. Brooke and Caroline are in 8th and 6th grade. They come in and help out in our classroom, work 1:1 with students, and observe. This week they co-taught a fabulous addition lesson.
This is how we vote for our next week's Good Citizen.
ZOO!
This marks our first field trip. We enjoyed exploring the zoo and learning all sorts of things about animals and their habitats. Thank you to all parents who made this trip possible!!
