Today was a great day. We are all mastering the L blend sounds and had fun playing a spelling game. In reading we are working on reading with feeling and adding actions to our short plays. We touched on how actors have to read with feeling in order to be entertaining. Reading with feeling will also help us build our fluency. In math we are plugging right along and today we discussed doing addition to check out work. Tomorrow's homework will be about subtraction. On the worksheet that is being sent home on Thursday there is room for you to show your addition work. I told everyone if you use addition to check your work then you will never be wrong and that is why math is so awesome.
The big hit of the day was when we reviewed all the parts of speech. We have talked about nouns and adjectives. Today I introduced verbs. Everyone seemed to be mastering the concept of verbs. I simply said, "Verbs show action; action, action, action!" We got a chance to listen to some of the classics while we review and do something new. I had a few requests today to put links to the websites so you can watch the videos at home and review as you please.
