Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!
Here is a brief update on what we have been learning and talking about today.
In reading I introduced making text-to-text connections by reading the gingerbread man and the gingerbread girl stories. We also talked about short I words and played a high frequency word game with a partner. We have been working hard on improving our fluency by reading in groups. Each group will read for the class tomorrow in a reader's theater style.
In math we made a book explaining greater than and less than and sorted number based on which number is the greatest and the least. The homework tonight is right along those lines. You will have to determine which number is the greatest and which one is the smallest.
In grammar today we worked on possessive nouns. We learned about adding an apostrophe S and an S apostrophe. In order to do that we discussed the difference between singular possessive and plural possessive.
At the end of the day we are going to discuss more how a seed grows and how seeds get spread all over by reading Eric Carle's, The Tiny Seed. We are going to use our schema on what we already know about seeds, make connections, and then build new schema by filling in a KWL chart. A KWL chart tells us what we already know (K), what we want to know (W) and what we learned (L).
We sure were busy today!
