What a Busy Week!

 Here are a few snapshots of what we have been up to this week!

 

 

 

 In class we have also been very busy using our ten frames and our new rekenreks!   These new manipulatives are working perfect for our Number Talks and daily math lessons.  We continue to work on our doubles.

 

 

 

 

Our focus in comprehension has been SCHEMA!  We used the idea from Tammy McGregor's Comprehension Connections book           to use the lint roller!   Each child wrote about their schema about school on a sheet like the one below.

 

Then, in their Reader Response notebook, they chose a topic to write about their schema.  The student below wrote about her schema on gymnastics.

 

We have been busy learning many of our word chunks! 

 

 

Have a great weekend!

 

 

 

Fall Has Arrived!

 

Last week we studied about apples!  We made a sweet treat....apple turnovers! 

 

 

 

We have been learning about nouns!  Ask your child about it1

 

 

We have also been working hard on our writing!  This week we practiced using marshmallows to remind us to use spaces.  We also circled our nouns!

 

On Friday, we began our study of diagraphs.  We started with /th/.  We made "thinking thumbs" and brainstormed th words. 

 

 

Our class also made fall trees.  These will be on display during conferences.

 

 

We were introduced to adding doubles.  We used ten frames to help us with this skill.

 

 

 

 

We have loved earning gold tags each and every day.  We love using them for Fun Friday even more!  Here is our chart of choices and some pictures of our activities!
