Students worked so hard this week!!
Students took the first unit assessment in math. It was tough but students persevered and did a great job! We celebrated by doing a math craft on Wednesday. Students did a "Math about Me" craft that got them thinking about the numbers all around them and we got to learn more about each other. We also started Unit 2 which focuses on addition strategies.
In reading we've worked hard on building our reading stamina during read to self. Students learned the strategy: retell and jump back in to help them when their mind starts to wander.
Students are starting to master our Word Work routine and learned how to use our "Sight Word Task Boxes" which are a big hit!
Our theme for the week was feelings. Students learned about different types of emotions, read books, and talked about times where they experienced different emotions. Students also wrote in their feelings journal. My personal favorite from the week: I feel excited when we get homework! Each day we painted a feeling and on Friday did a museum walk of each others paintings.
We also had our first Four Winds lesson on Friday! We learned all about the sun and shadows! This is a great connection to our light and sound unit that we will do later in the year!
