Good Afternoon,

Today students did a lot of review of our classroom rules. We went through each Y chart and practiced following the rules. We will continue to do this practice as needed throughout the school year.

In math, students worked on place value with $1, $10, and $100 bills.  We also practiced counting on the number line and adding on the number line.  We played addition top it using cards and the promethean.

In science, the students observed and labeled the parts of a caterpillar. Students learned that caterpillars have 2 sets of legs, a mouth, eyes, and bristles that protect them from birds. We watched videos of caterpillars turning into a chrysalis and then into a butterfly. The students were amazed.

In reading, students read to self, worked on spelling, read and added a new poem to their poetry journal and some met in small reading groups. This week, we are working on the reading strategy called “The Eagle Eye”. This strategy is when students use the pictures to try and figure out the words they don’t know in a book.

Please read, read, read with your child at home :)
