CELEBRATIONS:

Quote of the Week – This week’s quote went to MIYAH for always doing the right thing!

Lost Tooth Club – Emmett got an award for joining the lost tooth club!

Mystery Reader – Evelynne’s mom surprised us on Thursday as a mystery reader! She read The Giving Tree and Madeline. We loved hearing the stories.

OUR LEARNING:

Reading– This week wrapped up our Word Detective unit! We learned about vowel teams and contractions. Next week we will begin our non-fiction unit.

Writing – We began our non-fiction chapter book unit! Students began writing about topics that they are experts on. Some students wrote about animals, sports, or TV shows they know know lots about.

Math – We worked on solving subtraction equations. Students solved subtraction equations by making math mountains and by clapping and counting on to the total, looking at their fingers for the answer.

Word Study – This week we solved our last three case files from the SSDA:

  • The Case of Words In Disguise, we can read contractions.
  • The Case of Compound Words, we can read compound words.
  • The Case of Look Alike Words, we can read tricky words that look like words we already know.
