I have a moment before I pick the kiddos up from specials and I wanted to update everyone on a few things that we did today that were new and somewhat of a review. Today we read a book together and made predictions and talked about why the author wrote the story. Tomorrow we will take that one step further and talk about the main idea of a story. In our phonics for the week we began talking about the short "o" sound. From my observations today this will be an easy sound to master and to use in our spelling and writing. In math we are still talking about they ways to make numbers with tens and ones. Tomorrow we will do a little review game and then on Thursday have a short assessment. After the review day the assessment will be a breeze. In our grammar part of the day we introduced the topic of adjectives. Your students should be able to tell you what an adjective is and what it describes. We also talked about the six reasons writers write. They write to write a story, make a list, write a book, write a post card, write a letter, and to write a card. We are going to make each one of these so the students are familiar with some of the different styles of writing. We will end the day with a trip to the library and a small science discussion on clay and begin talking about what we found in you past experiments of getting the different kinds of soils wet.
On another note, the Art to Remember packets went home. If you wish to purchase anything please make sure it is returned by October the 8th. Your student will have this in their backpack.
Thanks and have a great Monday, stay dry!
