Happy 3 Day Weekend!

It is Friday and the kids I am sure are playing outside and running around. I, on the other hand, am at school coming up with lesson ideas that will help support our arts & health sciences magnet theme. FUN!!

Here is my post for Wednesday and Thursday in the classroom:

This week we have had a lot of fun continuing our learning about our butterflies. Yesterday, some of the students noticed that some of the butterflies were “connecting” with another butterfly friend. They were witnessing the mating portion of the butterfly life cycle.

In reading we continue to read to self, listen to reading, and work in small groups. One of the groups read a story called How to Make Sock Puppets. They had so much fun reading it and told me that they were going to make their own sock puppets over the weekend. All of the stories we read in our small groups have a worksheet that goes along with the story to support comprehension, rhyming, writing, and other skills. These sheets are at times done in our small groups and are also sent for individual work time.

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO PRACTICE SPELLING! (not in order to memorize, but to really know and understand how to spell the words correctly)

Yesterday, students took the end of the unit test. Tests will be graded and returned soon. Next week, we will begin Unit 2 incorporating supplemental materials from CGI training.

We have also been doing a lot of creative writing. It is not structured-as in students are not given a topic to write about. The kids LOVE writing and it is great to see!

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!!!!!!!
