November 5th

Today was Monday and it seems that everyone had a great weekend.  I know because we had a case of the chatty Cathies.  Everyone was a little more talkative than usual.  I have been stressing self control more and more.  Some of us are getting a little too friendly. 

With that said we did have a good day of making sure we were proficient with our phonics and grammar.  We reviewed the short U sound and talked about adjectives.  We did an activity where we had to describe ourselves.  We also got to watch oneof my favorite clips.  You can click on the link below.

In math we are slowly mastering fact families.  After the second day of fact families, we are doing fairly well.  Just remember when you are writing your two subtraction facts that the biggest number at the top of the triangle goes first.  The biggest number always goes first in a subtraction problem.  Later in the week we will be talked about using addition to check our work.

Tomorrow we will continue our plays and talking about the setting, character, sequencing of stories and problems.  On Friday the goal is that everyone has read through their lines enough to act out their small skit, in a reader's theater style.  Tomorrow we will also briefly talk about the election and the significance of tomorrow's election.
